    Pundits differ in their view of man management. Some say it is an art, which is ingrained into individuals and can only be fine-tuned, never learnt afresh if you do not already have it in you. Others say it is a science, based on the study of human nature and can be mastered by anyone who cares to do so.

    It is Conte’s part in this that shines through, not just as an example of ruthlessly detailed coaching and man management, but as something new also.

    2017 May 13, Barney Ronay, “Antonio Conte’s brilliance has turned Chelsea’s pop-up team into champions”, in the Guardian
