He could've coached United, today he comes to Manchester and Ten Hag gives him a lesson
The Italian coach could have managed Man Utd but he ended up being the leader of Tottenham
Expectations are often very different from reality. When Manchester United decided to part ways with Norwegian coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer last year, one of the strongest candidates to lead the Red Devils was Italian Antonio Conte. Former manager of Chelsea and Juventus.
Conte had already proven his worth in England when with Chelsea he managed to win an FA Cup and a Premier League. However, the board was not convinced and ended up waiting for the summer to hire a new coach. The well-known Dutch manager Erik ten Hag. The coach from the Netherlands put together a small revolution at Old Trafford. But life was not going to leave Conte so far from the Theater of Dreams.

In the end, the Italian coach was hired by Levy and Tottenham and achieved what Manchester United could not last season, being in the UEFA Champions League. However, in the recent match between the two teams, it became clear why Ten Hag got the job at the Red Devils and Conte didn't as Manchester United defeated Spurs on Wednesday.
Expectation vs reality
Many Manchester United fans expected Antonio Conte to be the manager of the Red Devils. Many times the Italian has shown his ability with big teams, like Juventus and Chelsea. However, in the end, the board decided that his playing and managerial style were very different from what the players were used to and that is why they did not specifically hire him.
