Conte to Get Mixed Reception from Juventus Crowd When He Returns This Weekend

Juventus legend Andrea Pirlo thinks Conte will get mixed reviews when he returns to Turin

Antonio Conte will receive a mixed reception when he returns to the Allianz Stadium with Tottenham this weekend, according to former Juventus teammate Andrea Pirlo.

Conte spent three successful years in Turin, winning three Serie A titles in a row from 2011 to 2014. He also led the Bianconeri to the Champions League final in 2015, where they lost to Barcelona. However, he left the club in 2014 under a cloud, and his relationship with the fans has been strained ever since.

Pirlo, who played with Conte at Juventus, said he believes the fans will be divided in their reaction when he returns.

"I think some fans will be happy to see him again, and some will be angry," Pirlo told Tuttosport. "He had a great time at Juventus, but he also left in a bad way. So, I think the reception will be mixed."

Conte’s relationship with Juventus fans has been strained since he left the club in 2014

Conte left Juventus in 2014 after a fallout with the club's board. He had been unhappy with the club's transfer policy, and he felt that he was not being given the support he needed to compete at the highest level.

Conte's departure was acrimonious, and he has since made several critical comments about the club. He has accused the board of being incompetent, and he has said that he feels betrayed by the fans.

The fans have not forgiven Conte for his comments, and they have made it clear that they do not want him back at the club.
