Ex-Manager watch: Antonio Conte
- Thread starter TheTanguy
- Start date
Unfortunately he doesn’t seem like a coach who tends to commit with one club for a long period.
And consider the unavoidable fallout with Levy which will happen sooner or later. Lets enjoy the ride while it lasts and hope that next guy wont be Nuno 2.0.

I remember thinking that about Keano when he joined. Apart from a brief, failed love affair with Liverpool, he fell in love and stayed a lot longer than I thought he would.
You never know, maybe Conte will stay for longer than some expect.
Edit. As much as many slag off our club and owners, we've certainly connected with many people over the years. I'm thinking Jol, Poch, VdV, JD, Daws, Jenas etc.
Quite a few people find a home with us.

This isn’t just new manager bounce this is a world class coach improving our players.
Nuno and Jose held back so many of them through either not giving them enough confidence or not helping them to be fit enough or to have tactics that enabled them to be effective individually but also within the team structure.
Our players aren’t perfect and we do need to improve the squad but I always thought a lot of our players were playing no where near the level they could be under Jose and Nuno.
Love it. COYS

Just a reminder / warning as an Italian journalist said when we hired him.
“Don’t get too attached to Conte, don’t fall in love with him, he’s like dating a crazy hot girl for a bit, you’ll love it but it won’t last and he will leave you suddenly, so enjoy the ride but don’t fall in love with him” ?
But yes sign him up for a 10 year deal.
Feels so good having a top5 manager in the world at our club.

Yep I think it was PEH or Son who said it on an interview recently but one of our players said it’s great with Conte as he is very clear on what we need to do individually and as a team.
I can imagine Nuno just scratching his beard and everyone falling asleep and Jose pulling some weird scouling face if anyone doesn’t get what he means or disagrees with his anti-football football, with Conte all the players will be like pitbulls snarling listening to every word ready to attack.

Conte did absolutely everything from a tactical perspective to grind that result out. We played OK in patches but at times the game was getting away from us. The decisive substitutions helped grind it out big time.
West Ham were better than us tonight. Not sure the tactical substitutions worked - they worked for afew minutes then West Ham didnt take too long to read what was going on.

My point is that it's not passive like under Jose and Nuno who just sat and waited for us to concede.

Or you know.. we just enjoy the moment?
I agree with that - Conte is definitely proactive which is a good thing.

I'm definitely not even thinking about the next guy. I can't see why anyone would.

Amazing how quickly hes kicked this team into shape, improving almost every player in such a short space of time.Give him a decent transfer budget and a pre season with the pick of this squad and a few additions we’ll be up there next season without a doubt.Expecting a top 4 finish and a trophy this season too.Hes a proper coach at the top of his game.
Exciting times

He got a tune out of bergwijn, and dare I say it Doherty tonight. Against Liverpool, he did it with winks and dele.
He's simply an elite coach.
Also, I saw a stat in game where spurs have gone from being 20th, in running stats to 1st under Conte

The guy is a footballing genius, the complete package.
His in game management is sublime, even in the first half with minor tweaks on goal kicks etc. And when he made substitutions, for the first time in over two years you had confidence in the payers he brought on. We looked organised, not totally solid, but I’ve no doubt that will come.
Levy must be rubbing his hands together, we’ve now got players that if we choose to move on, they will fetch a fee. Under Nono you couldn’t give half of them away.
Conte is making the club money on the training pitch.

Were they; they didn't create one clear chance (not counting the goal as that was created by us)

Already loving him being in charge. He is improving our squad players to make them dependable and has made our team much more competitive.
You can see his in game management is clever and proactive and you can see that we are creating more chances and looking more dangerous. The one touch passing and movement is much improved.
I think it shows that decent coaching can get you much improvement. Mourinho and Nuno just didn't cut it unfortunately atelier. Support him with additions and he will get us consistently challenging. He is simply a winner.

Yes that was an amazing statistic... he turned us from bottom to top, in a matter of weeks.
