Conte was already a sure successor to Lopetegui
MADRID. It already seemed like a deal: After Real Madrid went down 1-5 at FC Barcelona in late October 2018, Spanish newspapers reported that Antonio Conte would inherit Julen Lopetegui as a trainer. Lopetegui actually had to leave as a result, but was replaced by Santiago Solari.
Important leaders of the royal are said to have spoken out against an obligation of Conte. Reason: its difficult character. Diego Costa can obviously understand that. “At Real Madrid, he wouldn’t even be in office for a season”, the Atlético striker, who worked for Chelsea under the 50-year-old Italian in the 2016/17 season, confidently put on record to the ESPN television station.

Conte didn’t leave the best memories with the native Brazilian: “We had our problems off the field, but he’s really a good coach. I have no resentment against him. But to be a really great trainer, he has to change something on the human side of methodology. He is a suspicious guy. “

According to Costa, sooner or later the white ballet would have had considerable problems between today’s Inter Milan coach and the stars. By the way, Conte himself explained his undue commitment in 2018/19 to the 13-time Champions League winner as follows: “Real Madrid was a hot potato at the time. D rather not. There was an opportunity, but I don’t like taking on a team in the middle of the season. I prefer to work from the start. “
