3 reasons why Real Madrid should not consider Antonio Conte as their next manager

#2 Poor man management skill

Conte's feud with Diego Costa proves that he is very weak when it comes to HR management.

For a club like Real Madrid, a manager cannot afford to be distant from his players. It has served as a downfall for many a manager at the club, where keeping the squad happy is very important. It served Zidane well, as he built a great rapport with his players, even those that were not regular starters. Conte, on the other hand, is a man that is said to be purely professional and isn’t close to his players.

This approach is not plausible at Madrid, as the manager is seen as someone that is the link between the board and players. Prolific players like Sergio Ramos, Cristiano Ronaldo and Marcelo will do everything to turn the dressing room against him, or leave the club, if Conte is appointed. Both will leave the Whites in a deeply problematic situation.

On many occasions, Conte benched both Olivier Giroud and Alvaro Morata, playing Eden Hazard as a false nine like he did versus Barca. The former Juventus gaffer has the propensity to fall out with certain players that question and undermine his philosophy, which happened with David Luiz and Diego Costa.
