So now the dust has settled a bit on us parting ways with Conte, it got me thinking as Spurs fans who do we think did a better job out of the two ‘Super Elite’ Managers that we sold our soul to the devil for during the last 3 years: Jose Mourinho or Antonio Conte?
Jose:
Played 86
Won 45
Drawn 17
Lost 24
GF ave 2.01
GA ave 1.28
1.77PPG
Highest finish 6th
Best cup result : League Cup Final (sacked before it)
Conte:
Played 76
Won 41
Drawn 12
Lost 23
GF ave 1.79
GA ave 1.12
PPG 1.78
Highest finish 4th
Best cup result : Rd of 16 in the CL
For me this is actually quite a close call.
Both managed us for about 500 days in total. The stats are on the whole pretty similar, Conte has marginally better PPG, Jose’s Spurs scored more goals but played in lesser European competition.
Conte was better in the league, Jose was better in the cups.
Jose arguably had a better squad when he took over but Conte got better financial backing with signings.
Jose alienated and cast aside players and the football at times was horrible to watch and we kept throwing away leads, Conte also alienated certain people and also the football was horrible at times and we often had terrible 1st halves and had to keep making big comebacks from 2/3-0 down.
When we were good under Conte at the end of his 1st season we thrashed Everton, Leicester, Norwich and got an epic win away at Man.City.
When we were good under Jose we pummelled Man.U 6-1 away? Put 5 past Southampton at their place beat Man.City and so on.
We also topped the table under Jose and under Conte we had our best ever PL start.
Jose took over when we were around 12th I think under Poch and got us to 6th, Conte took us over when we were around 9th under Nuno and got us to 4th.
Conte also had 3 personal tragedies and a health scare to deal with. Jose had a pandemic to deal with.
Both managers were stubborn and toxic and negative in different ways.
Both were motivational in ways at times.
For me it’s a very close call but I actually think that Jose did a better job, if he was given the cup final he might have won it and if we’d not thrown away that lead in Europe against that team with the Manager in jail I think he’d have got us to the final, he also didn’t get as much financial backing in the transfer market as Conte did and he took us over in a lower league position.
Close call and ups and downs with both and ultimately neither we’re a particularly good fit for us but for me I think Jose just about edges it.
Who do you think did a better job for us overall and why?
