The papers are 'indicating' that the managers role will be between Conte or Simeone. Similar age, Simeone probably the more experienced at a higher level than Conte although the win statistics are almost identical but not in Mourinho's league! Conte probably took over a decent Juventus team and kept the momentum going albeit not as a free scoring team and Simeone had to do some work to bring Atletico Madrid up to standard. I think Conte speaks decent English, I do not think Simeone does. Who is the pick and why? I am in the Simeone camp but his lack of English worries me.

I'd rather conte as Simeone plays really boring football.

Conte brings something different. Not much difference in Jose and simeone so I don't see why he would be hired. We need a fresh start, the clubs been in mourinhos shadow for years. We also need to look at top players for first 11, not just players to warm the bench. The likes of Kennedy, RLC and Traore need to go out on loan as there not getting enough game time.

I don't disagree that a change of style would be nice BUT Mourinho's shadow is vast and very successful. I disagree that Simeone plays boring football versus Conte. Conte won Serie A with one of the lowest goals for ever in his first season (I think it was his first season) when defenders were top scorers which means he can put a defensive side together but I am not so sure with offensive. Ultimately it is nit picking and we are highly likely to hear very soon although G8 knows already.

Conte would bring more cautious football which doesn't necessarily mean defensive football.
