Former player and tactician Aldo Agroppi maintains Antonio Conte is “over-rated, never succeeded in Europe and is an exhibitionist with all that shouting.”
Agroppi is a famous Italian television pundit after his experiences at Genoa, Torino, Perugia and Fiorentina, well known for not holding back with criticism.
“I don’t like Conte for his exhibitionism, too much shouting and drama on the touchline. You don’t win by putting on a circus act and howling,” Agroppi told TMW Radio.
“He always had great teams, but also suffered heavy defeats. When I hear talk that he brought a strong mentality to the Italy squad, I find it laughable. Conte is just playing a part, it suits him when he wins, but when he loses, he becomes insufferable for players and directors. Don’t forget, that Italy didn’t even get into the top four at the Euros.
“Conte is over-rated, as once again this season he crashed out of the Champions League in the first round with Inter and is falling behind in Serie A. He was sacked by Arezzo and Atalanta.
“He won the Scudetto with Juventus, as did many others, but never made an impact in the Champions League. I wouldn’t mind if he didn’t act so over the top about it, with his commands and screaming. That’s only acceptable as long as you’re winning, otherwise you become irritating.”
Agroppi was asked if Lazio coach Simone Inzaghi or current Juventus boss Maurizio Sarri had a more suitable management style.
“Inzaghi doesn’t even look like a coach, he is everyone’s big brother or best friend. A coach must not be friends with his players. Your squad ought to be afraid of you and respect you at the same time, so you don’t lose your power.
“Sarri is either loved or hated depending on his latest result. If he just wins the Scudetto this season, what has he really achieved?”
