Both loved and then left the clubs in a traumatic way where they played and trained: Antonio will cheer for “his” Juve hosting Inter, Simone will do the same with “his” Lazio opposite to Napoli
They seem to be light years away – starting from the temperament – yet Antonio Conte and Simone Inzaghi have many points in common. Starting – while opening up to the future as professionals know how to do their strong root with their past. A team in which they grew up, won, and established themselves. Conte – who also took his great satisfactions to Chelsea, in the national team, at Inter and is now wonderfully guiding Napoli – he cannot and must certainly not forget his seasons at Juve. Sixteen years overall, thirteen as a player and three as a coach, in which he grew up, affirmed himself, he took the beautiful responsibility of wearing the captain’s band, won everything there was to win. Five players and three of the coach, the Champions League, the UEFA Cup, four super -cups as a player and two from the pilot, the Italian Cup and … and in short, there is a very rich bulletin board, testifying to what Juve represented in his career in football. In his life in football. And inzaghi? Well, Simone from this point of view has little to envy. Surely that I have won less, but not to have built an equally solid relationship, indeed more, considering the years of militancy. Yes, because Inzaghi in Lazio has even been 21 years old: ten as a footballer, in three different phases, and 11 as a coach, starting with the youths to the first team. He has conquered a historic footballer’s historic championship, various cups both in shirt and shorts and with the good dress with which he directs the coach operations. In short, their roots have in Juve and Lazio.
