According to former Italy striker Christian Vieri, former teammate Antonio Conte is difficult to stay at a club for a long time due to his personality.

"Antonio easily disagrees with people. That's his personality. If you get into a fight with Conte, you can't wait for someone to be quiet and give in to everything. He always brings things to a climax. That's it. It's Conte's instinct. You can like it or not, but you have to understand what happens if you contradict him," Vieri told Corriere della Sera.

Conte has been leading Tottenham since November 2021, replacing Nuno Espirito Santo. He helped the North London club finish fourth in the Premier League in its first season. Despite maintaining that position this season, Conte could not help Tottenham find stability. Recently, they disappointed when they were eliminated in the Champions League and FA Cup, which extended their thirst for titles since 2008.

After the 3-3 draw against Southampton on March 18, Conte publicly criticized the player. He called them selfish, could not bear pressure and was the cause of Tottenham's empty hands for many years. In the statements that led to his dismissal, Conte also said that all responsibility at Tottenham falls on the board of directors and coaches, and players are often exonerated.

"Is it true that every two years, Conte will be in conflict with someone again? Yes. Does he always leave for that reason? Yes. Conte is a rich, ambitious, demanding man. . Everything will not be peaceful if the club has him. Conte will not let you sleep well, "said Vieri.

Vieri used to be Conte's teammates at Juventus and the Italian team. He believes that the style of his compatriots is similar to Jose Mourinho, who values ​​discipline and always demands the best from his players, as opposed to moderate coaches who often work for a long time at a club.
