David Luiz return hmm

Gazzetta reporting 5mill net per season to Conte, Abramovich to give the final yes in a week, and that he brings his staff (Carrera, Alessio, Bertelli)

Doesn't sound to me like Abra is enthusiastic about Conte hmm

tactically, EPL is going to be very interesting now. You have Pep, Conte, Wenger, likely Mou, Poch----o, Klopp... the game will evolve. Should be a lot of fun.

With all the money they have in that league, I think there's going to a massive shift of power. Bayern, Madrid, Barca and PSG will be fine because they have as much if not more money... but after that, it's a chasm.

by Curtinho Fri Feb 26, 2016 5:48 pm

Maybe it will mean the EPL will ascend back to the pinnacle of European power as well. I mean, like you said the others should still be able to compete because of money and standing, but there's no reason that within a few years with the amount of money, marketing and the quality of those coaches at the helm that the top EPL clubs won't be able to all compete with the likes of Bayern, Barca, Madrid, etc.

by sportsczy Fri Feb 26, 2016 6:37 pm

The issue is after the top clubs for EPL. In La Liga, you have the top 3 but then teams like Valencia, Villareal, Bilbao, etc. all kill it in Europa as well. There's a consistency in La Liga that doesn't exist anywhere else.

BUT, EPL's elite should be elite again, which it hasn't been since SAF retired.

At this point I believe Juve won't get again Cuadrado , Conte loves him.

by Blue Fri Feb 26, 2016 8:12 pm

I wonder if there is any truth to Conte bringing Sabatini with him, this club desperately need more football minds.

Okay who are those and what role do they play? Will any of them help guarantee that Emenalo is out of a job ASAP?

We played entertaining ball under conte, but were broke. Couldnt afford a proper left back, so he started playing with a 3 man line. And had to settle for matri up top, who shouldve had a luca toni first season. Great motivator, good eye for talent, works well with young guys.
Doesnt understand the concept of rotating though. And doesnt always make very good adjustments.

Chelsea have a particular connection with Italy, no other English clubs like them ( not even close ).

I dont know who Emenaldo is but those are his assistant coaches, Alessio is his no2, Carrera "technical director", them and Conte played at Juve in the early 90's. Conte served a 4 month ban at one point, Alessio later had a similar ban, then Carrera took over. Anyway, He seems pretty reliant on them, and the 3 left Juve for the national team as well.

So who would take over Italy.

by rincon Fri Feb 26, 2016 10:58 pm

Too early to know. If Conte leaves Ventura kinda proposed himself. Mancini has always wanted it and there's rumours of Mou going back to Inter

by Kaladin Fri Feb 26, 2016 10:59 pm

If Mancini gets ousted this summer, i can see him manage the NT

by Robespierre Fri Feb 26, 2016 11:03 pm

Inter never will sack Mancini.
Mancini dreams to coach Italy , Tavecchio appreciates him but Lotito hates him . And Lotito basically rules in FIGC so I can't see him really going in Nazionale.
So far names anyway : Mancini,Allegri ( but no chances), Ventura, Mazzarri,Ranieri , Fabio Cannavaro.

CdS is reporting that Abramovich has already told the staff that Conte is our next manager, although, JT has denied that.
