He definitely will stabilaze the team in serie A, but this will come with the cost of huge salary and constant complaining + uncertainty of sudden resign. Considering that Zhangi is broken, it's not worth the risk imo.
And the inability to do anything in the CL.

Hard pass.

Inzaghi is not brilliant but EVEN HE can deliver better results in the CL.

No coach can guarantee titles (Serie A or otherwise). But Conte will guarantee failure in Europe.

Yes, but Conte will you guarantee top 4 finish, much more than Inzaghi. The problem is that the cost and the risk are too high for the reward.

I would ever argue Inzaghi is a good coach for CL. At least for our targets in our current financial situation. Inzaghi's big issue is motivating squad in Serie A.

Fuck this piece of shit. And Marotta who brought him here. He won us scudetto but at what cost? To be stuck with these players that can only play fkn 3 5 2 system???! If Spalettone was backed up by Suning like Conte we would rule shitty league for years,just look what he did with Napoli, in two fkn years! Did you ever saw Conte team playing like that? Never and never will. And he was cheap for fuck sake. Now its too late. We are stuck with 3 5 2,with mediocre flanks. Look at fkn beelan. 3-4-3. They have Theo, Leao, even friggin Messias on flank's that are fast and can fuck up every defence. Tonali is bossing again, we lost him cause Conte wanted that alcoholic old bum Vidal. They have youth players and what we have now, who is our prospect, Mikhitarijan and Dzeko? 🤮🤣
Marotta needs to fuck off. We need someone who will bring us balsy coach with fresh ideas, need proper scouts too, we need another fresh start, enough with these Seria A 3 5 2 bums.

It take conte on inzaghis wages and demand a scudetto and that he can't whinge and cry.

Spurs job has really fucked him, what was he thinking. He's limited to Italy really now and no club in Italy will be paying his top wages so he will have to accept lower of he wants to work again

Precisely.

He really fucked himself over by leaving us. Of course made a lot of money with that move (by taking the severance pay from us, then signing with Spurs), but career-wise, not a good move. He should have stayed, but he copped out. Probably out of fear of failure in the 3rd season.

I think everyone fucked themself for leaving us
From Lukaku,Hakimi,Conte,Perisic
And now Skriniar will pay for it

In our financial situation advacing in CL is worth a lot more than winning the scudetto....

Also i dont think he fucked himselfe by going to the spurs his track record is still good enough for big teams to want him.... Also maybe just maybe he knew how it would end at inter so he just cut the ties early.... He would have bitched about lack of transferes mgm would have told him no cash and he would have done a terrible job and get fired mid season so really what would have been the point?

Side note Richarlison probably wont see the pitch ever again

define fucked them selfes... They all make a lot more money then they would make here....
Also perisic said his entire career that he wants to play in the EPL one day.... Getting that done by 33 is not to bad

Which big team will want serial CL failure?
Any one desperate enough for a league title....
Manu comes to mind.....
Lets not forget there are not that many coaches that are rated higher then conte despite his CL failures....
Also i d guess that that door at Jube is always open for him....

Edit: i might add that with the money available to EPL teams in the league for them the CL is less important than for a serie a team where we get a lot more money from the cl than the league...

So while conte might not be the right guy to win the CL he could bring an aspiring club to league glory while helping build up a good squad that will eventually be able to challenge for a CL with a new coach. Basically what he did at his first stint at jube...

Think Newcastle would he not be a good pick for them till they manage to get a squad good enough to challenge for CL? (i know not a big team but on the way there). WIth the PL having multiple squads that hve big team budget and big team aspirations (despite not being big teams historically) there should be enough teams who would be content to take him on to challenge for league titles and re establish them as title contenders.

Man United has Ten Hag and they are in top 4 zone. Unless they flop massively at the end of the season, why on Earth would they change the coach?

Clubs start to understand Conte truly cannot handle multiple competitions at once and top clubs do not want to focus on one competition per season.

His value plummeted. No big club wants to shit themselves in Europe, constant complaining and threats of quitting, play his let's be honest, turgid football, pay him 15m a year for them to maybe win one title. It's not worth it.

My guess is he takes a year off before angling for Mancini's job.
This looks like the obvious next step, he's hinted strongly at that.

He'll never get united now after this stint at spurs. Gary neville is on sky sports laughing about how people said they should get conte. That ship has sailed.

If he was an Inter player and say what he said, those who blame Inzaghi for everything would say it is also his fault that a player would dare to talk like that.

They'd probably say that players wouldn't have the balls to say that in the first place if Conte was the coach lol

Just noting that we should remember Conte's Inter was a completely different team after Hakimi was signed.
