The Tale of Two Contes

Antonio Conte has just finished his 2025/26 Champions League run with Napoli, and yet again, the “Scudetto King” looked like a “European Novice.” For those who follow football, it’s well known that he has an illustrious record when it comes to league matches, but falls short when it comes to Europe.
