Top 10 players who have played under Antonio Conte

#3: Alessandro Del Piero (Juventus)

Conte and Del Piero have been friends since their playing days at Juventus

When one-club men are brought in question to compare their loyalties against each other, veteran striker Alessandro Del Piero eclipses them all. There have been players like Ryan Giggs and Paolo Maldini who have been with the club through all the dark times, Del Piero is a mile ahead of them all.

The legendary striker's loyal decision to stay at Turin after Juventus were relegated to Serie B is already the stuff of legend in the Old Lady's history books. What made him shine brighter was the fact that he decided to stay when the other stars turned their backs on the club.

A celebrated striker with a penchant for scoring legendary goals, Del Piero is one of the most decorated players of the Azzurri. He and Antonio Conte together oversaw a successful era at the club as teammates. However, their relationship as a player-manager was relatively cut short in a year after the forward moved to the United States to see out his playing days.

Yet, a league title in six years was the best way in which Antonio Conte could offer a parting gift to his teammate, player, and an old friend.
