Conte built up juve together with marotta, no doubt. Juve fans were angry he left and allegri came. Allegri was medicore at milan, milanistis hated him.
I thought he was good at Milan, except for his last season but at the same time, Milan was on the decline at this point quite heavily and they certainly have not had a better manager than Allegri since his departure- unless you rate Mihajlovic, Inzaghi, Seedorf, Brocchi or Montella higher.
Of course I acknowledge everything Conte has done for Juventus but he is far from the sole creator of this team, soon I'll be told he has the influence of Gianni Agnelli, Boniperti, Del Piero, Platini on this club
I'm perfectly alright with people rating Conte over Allegri, but I prefer Allegri personally.
The first season with Juventus he brought us to the Champions League final
The second season he coped with losing Pirlo, Vidal and Tevez all at once and we played some of the best football I've ever seen Juventus play in my life, went on a historic run in the league and made a great season again.
Now in his third year, the team is setting up to be special yet again.
My only issue with Conte is his provinciale and defeatist attitude when it came to the Champions League, he never believed Juventus could win it or compete in that competition. He only valued Serie A because he saw it as the only competition Juventus could win. He even quit based on the transfer market.
One of Conte's quotes from his time at Juve is along the lines of: "you cannot enter a $100 restaurant with $10"
