4 qualities Antonio Conte can bring to Real Madrid

#4. An outspoken personality

Conte has never been shy to speak

Conte’s Chelsea tenure ended in rather acrimonious circumstances. Of all the issues the Italian had at the club, a lack of transfers was by far the most prominent.

We know this as Conte was never afraid to talk about it during press conferences and post-match interviews. Whenever his side struggled, he would make a point of not having enough depth in his squad. He wasn’t at all impressed with Chelsea’s transfer business that season.

Madrid have had their own transfer struggles. Cristiano Ronaldo has yet to be adequately replaced, while the signings they did make have yet to find a place in the first team.

Lopetegui hasn’t complained. As a new coach, it’s possible that he didn’t feel he was in a position to push hard for new players.

Conte won’t have such issues. Should Madrid not equip him with the right players, he’ll let everyone know – even if it puts his job in danger. It’d be risky, but it’s perhaps something the club needs to prevent complacency setting in any further.
