In 2016-17, Arsenal fell out of the Premier League Top 4 for the first time in 16 years. It was thought that coach Wenger had to say goodbye at that time, but the FA Cup title at the end of the season appeased owner Stan Kroenke.
This year, Chelsea also dropped out of the Top 4 and also won the FA Cup like Arsenal. However, the script for Conte is not necessarily as good as the French "Profesor".
Wenger is not just a coach, he is a true manager. Maybe for many years, Arsenal have not been able to win the Premier League or go deep in the Champions League, but they still earn money evenly. Remember, Arsenal are one of the few big clubs in Europe that always maintain the budget to support both the team and the huge youth training system. Wenger did very well in this, while Conte did not.
Conte is just a true coach, that is, a professional and "has no added value" for the club. During his two-year tenure at Stamford Bridge, Conte has not promoted any notable youngster to the first team. Instead, the contracts he bought for Alvaro Morata and Tiemoue Bakayoko did not play well and were considered a bad deal.
In addition, Chelsea has now abandoned the policy of spending a ton to buy stars and started the buy process somewhere, only buying truly useful people.
again on the economic front, although the club only has a limited budget, as evidenced by the ceiling salary for players (at one point it was 120,000 pounds/week), Arsenal still finished building the Emirates Stadium. That is Wenger's talent of "weighing, measuring, weighing, counting". How to borrow, train players and sell to repay debts gradually, or even advertising and communication campaigns, "Professors" do well.
But Conte did not. There was a slight coincidence during this period between Conte and Wenger in 2004. At that time, Arsenal wanted to part ways with their old home team Highbury. Wenger and his club won the Premier League gold cup that year, giving them the strength and influence to start an adventure game called "Emirates' Stadium".
Last year, when Chelsea's owner Abramovic started thinking about building a new or upgrading Stamford Bridge, Chelsea also won the Premier League. However, Conte is not as good at trading as Wenger. After winning the championship... that was enough and now I received bitter rewards in both professional and economic aspects.
It is impossible to blame Conte for not having the same management talent as Wenger, but that was the era of money-making football, who knows? If you want to focus only on your expertise, have a big ass like Real Madrid and have top stars like Ronaldo.
At that time, there were less experienced people like Zidane who also won the Champions League twice in a row and successfully held the seat.
