Antonio Conte became a highly decorated and influential midfielder during his 13 seasons with Juventus, captaining the club from 1996 to 2001. During this tenure, he secured five Serie A titles, one Coppa Italia, one UEFA Champions League, and one UEFA Cup. Conte also represented the Italy national team, contributing to their runner-up finishes at the 1994 FIFA World Cup and UEFA Euro 2000. He made his Serie A debut with Lecce in 1986, scoring his first Serie A goal in 1989, before joining Juventus in 1991 and retiring as a player in 2004.
From 2014 to 2016, Conte managed the Italy national team, guiding them to the quarter-finals of UEFA Euro 2016. He then took charge of Chelsea in 2016, winning the Premier League title in his inaugural 2016-17 season and following that success with an FA Cup victory in his second season, 2017-18. In 2019, Conte moved to Inter Milan, where he led the club to their first Serie A title in eleven years during the 2020-21 season, effectively ending Juventus’ prolonged winning streak. After a period with Tottenham Hotspur from November 2021 to March 2023, Conte was appointed as the head coach of Napoli in June 2024.
In his inaugural season with Napoli, he led the club to their fourth Scudetto on May 23, 2025. This achievement marked his fifth Serie A championship as a coach and established him as the first manager to win the Italian league title with three different clubs.
