Few Better Tacticians Around
There is nothing wrong in saying that there are few better managers in the world than Conte when it comes to tactical acumen. The Italian has shown great awareness and great understanding of the game in his managerial career.
Be it the way he set up his Juventus side, leading them to major honours and success over a sustained period of time or the way he masterminded Italy’s run in the EURO 2016 in France or his awareness that his tactics in the early parts of the season with Chelsea weren’t working and the decision to switch to the 3-4-3, Conte has demonstrated great intelligence. If Chelsea lose him to Inter, the void that he would leave behind, despite his short time in-charge at the Stamford Bridge, would be extremely hard to fill.
