Antonio Conte

Who is Antonio Conte?

Antonio Conte is an Italian football manager and former footballer.

Playing as a midfielder, Conte became one of the most decorated and influential players in the history of Juventus, captaining the team and winning the UEFA Champions League and 5 Serie A titles, among other honours. He also played for the Italian national team and was a participant at the 1994 FIFA World Cup and the 2000 UEFA European Championship.

As a manager, Conte is known for using the 3-5-2 formation, fielding two pure strikers backed by a "number 10" attacking midfielder; Conte thus successfully resists the trend to use just one striker, prevalent in formations such as 4-2-3-1 that have come to dominate many clubs throughout Europe.
