Antonio Conte and the Italian association – in this dual relationship is little blessing. 2012 locked the association the former Juventus coach Conte for his alleged involvement in match-fixing. Two years later, the same association made the coach to coach, but even that was not the beginning of a beautiful friendship. Even after 20 months Conte announced his premature departure for the summer. Justification: The Association had not done enough for the needs of the National
The 46-year-old has achieved a balance where there is little to complain about.. In all ten European Championship qualifying games, the Squadra Azzurra remained unbeaten. When 1: 1 in a friendly against European champions Spain a week before the team left a strong impression. An impression that Italy will confirm in the next prestige friendly against world champions (20:45 ARD, live ticker SPIEGEL ONLINE).
Never before has dared to announce his resignation as early an Italian coach. It is no secret that Chelsea has increased interest to oblige the Italians for the upcoming season. An interest that is apparent on both sides. Conte himself says Chelsea is an option “no taboo”.
For weeks negotiating with Chelsea
The Italian and English media reports, it will already negotiated for weeks. There go only to questions of detail, as many Italians Conte could bring for his coaching staff. In the English tabloids discuss football experts almost daily whether Conte Londoners could help to glory again.
But before that has yet to a European Championship to be played, and in football Italy the concern is about, Conte operate the project EM only halfheartedly. Especially as the Azzurri caught with Belgium, Sweden and Ireland the most severe Preliminary Group. Of course, the coach tried everything to dispel the impression that he was a lame duck: “Anyone who knows me knows that I will give everything to the last day,” he says. Something to say all. At Conte there is at least circumstantial evidence that he thinks the same way.
He was never a migrant workers of football, even as a non-player. he played seven years for his hometown club Lecce, where he is also born. Thereafter remained Conte twelve years: 295 league games long Juventus faithful until his retirement in late 2004. The Turin he captained the field, and gathered with them many successes: Five times Italian champion, winning the Champions League in 1996.
also as a coach it was the success of a faithful companion. When he took over at Juventus, 2011, the record champions had previously missed out for eight years in the title fight of the series A. As Conte in 2014 went to switch in place of Cesare Prandelli national team, had three champions trophies more in silver cabinet of the traditional club.
Conte can be reluctant to restrict
Conte a leader, one of the counts for little except success. But also one that can be the framework extremely reluctant to dictate. As the Association did not manage to enforce a desired Conte for February training camp of the national team in the league clubs, was made up his mind to quit after the European Championship. “I was promised to work sufficiently with the team. But I could not do what I wanted,” Conte said. being required to reduce
Sign up to seek their own power circumcised from outside – that is not the style, the Conte is accustomed. In this he resembles Bayern coach Josep Guardiola. Both hope that the Premier League more powers. More in any case, as it had to offer Bayern and the Italian national team.
So the team so now has a coach, from which all know that he is no longer hold office. That does not go wrong. As Louis van Gaal, the Netherlands in 2014 led to the World Cup to Brazil, everyone knew that he would change after the tournament to Manchester United. In the first World Cup match Oranje outclassed defending champion Spain 5: 1 and was at the end finished third. Conte is ambitious enough, that is unlikely to give him a third place.
