#6: Paul Pogba (Juventus)

Torino FC v Juventus - Serie A
Antonio Conte is credited with bringing the best out of Paul Pogba in his formative years

If Paul Pogba does make it to the pantheon of the greatest footballers ever to play the game, It would be the best appreciation for Antonio Conte's skills in developing youngsters.

Paul Pogba is, by far, a walking tribute to the Italian's skill as a master tactician. The Frenchman arrived at Juventus a frustrated 19-year-old for free in 2012. Over a tenure of two years, Pogba honed his skills and developed under the watchful eye of Antonio Conte during their two years together at the club.

Sure enough, the midfielder made Manchester United regret their decision to let him go on a Bosman transfer. Pogba caused ripples with his eye-catching performances as the Red Devils redeemed themselves after playing a world-record £89 million deal to bring him back to England in 2016.

Together, both of them won three trophies at Juventus. At present, Pogba and Conte are rivals in the Premier League. However, the Frenchman owes a lot to the Italian for making him the world-class player that he is today.
