Top 10 players who have played under Antonio Conte

#5: Giorgio Chiellini (Juventus)

Conte and Chiellini have worked together for both Juventus and the Italy national team

In his eleven years at the club starting from 2005, Giorgio Chiellini has been an instrumental part of the club in the Bianconeri's resurgence as the best team in Italy.

A versatile defender who can play as a centre-back as well as a left-back, the Italian defender is known for his no-nonsense style of play and is fondly known as King Kong due to his tough tackling and vivid goal celebrations. He is bound to take the captain's arm-band after Gianluigi Buffon retires. Currently, he serves as the vice-captain to the club.

Along with Bonucci and Barzagli, Chiellini formed a three-man defence that was perhaps the biggest reason why Juventus were able to kickstart their return to the pedestal of Italian football. His experience has served him greatly as he helped in shoring up the backline.

Conte and Chiellini together achieved 5 trophies at the club. The pair were reunited again when Conte took charge of the Azzurri from 2014 to 2016. He is arguably one of the best footballers managed by the Italian maestro.
