When the last Euros were held there was a buzz around Italy. We watched with interest because we knew a big character was coming to the Premier League.
It was all about Antonio Conte. He had agreed to become Chelsea’s manager before the tournament and we loved seeing his passion on the sidelines. His team played good football, he looked the part and his past record indicated he would be successful in our game.
When I watch Italy’s games at this Euros, I wonder why there is not the same buzz around their current manager and why Premier League clubs have not been doing all they can to recruit him.
