Tottenham have hired football’s foremost back-three expert in Antonio Conte — a highly-driven individual with a host of successful short to medium-term stints in charge of top clubs.
His successes are, in no small part, down to his system. He’s got this plug-in, quick-fix, pragmatic approach which can dramatically improve clubs.
Chelsea went from finishing 10th to champions in his first year in charge. That was the season Pep Guardiola took charge of Manchester City but he couldn’t keep up with the speed at which Conte transformed his team.
