The hypothesis of a return from Antonio Conte to the Jeventus bench grows. The Italian technician, just crowned champion with Naples, is expected to replace Igor Tudor next season. A comeback loaded with symbols for those who have already marked the history of the Bianconeri in the early 2010s. But while the idea seduces part of the tifosi, a well-known name in Turin decided to temper the ardor.
Michel Platini, absolute legend of the old lady, did not chew her words. Asked about the rumor of a tale return to Juventus, the former French playmaker launched a clear warning: “Before you think of the coach, you need good players. »» For Platini, without a quality workforce, even a big name on the bench will not be enough to straighten the club. He believes that the story of a team is written on the field, not only on the tactical table.
After a new season marked by turbulence, Juventus is looking for a new breath. The idea of bringing Conte, architect of titles from the beginning of the 2010s, seems logical. But doubts about the current workforce remain. The club has not found the Summit of Serie A since 2020 and remains far from European standards. For Platini, the challenge will be huge … Unless management offers him solid guarantees on the transfer window.
Story hesitates, from Laurentiis is annoyed
On the side of Naples, the climate is tense between tale and President Aurelio de Laurentiis. Despite the acquired title, tensions could precipitate the departure of the former Nazional coach. Juventus carefully monitors the situation. But according to Platini, this return should only be made one condition: that of having a competitive workforce to target the summits.
Intervened during a charity event, Platini also entrusted his attachment to the Turin club. If he does not imagine coming back in office, he says he is honored that we still think of him forty years later. A way of reminding, with elegance, that in Juve, we do not build success on nostalgia … but on talent.
