In this episode, we’re talking Italian managers.
Specifically… Carlo Ancelotti and Antonio Conte.
Ancelotti will be joining the Brazilian men’s national team this summer, drawing his second spell at Real Madrid to a close.
Meanwhile, Antonio Conte could be about to win the Scudetto with a third Italian club… potentially adding Napoli to his successes with Juventus and Internazionale.
Broadly speaking, Ancelotti has been more successful in European competitions — with Conte having a better success rate bringing home the domestic bacon.
But is there something in their tactical philosophies that has caused this? That’s what we talk about in this episode.
