A Champions League winner with Juventus, as a player and Serie A champion as a manager for the same, Antonio Conte, is a well-known name in Europe today.

Without a doubt, taking over the Chelsea team and winning the league title in his first season in charge, is always going to be his career highlight. Not many managers can claim to match his achievement.

Conte started his managerial career with Arezzo, but it was when he helped Bari earn a promotion into Serie A, that he came into limelight. It was when he joined Juventus as a manager, that his real managerial abilities were showcased.

Not only did he won the league in his first season in charge, he did so while Juventus remained unbeaten for the 2011-12 season.

With two titles in two seasons with Chelsea, it can be said that Conte, who brought the innovative 3-5-2 formation in Premier League is one of the best managers to have come into the PL from Serie A.
