Agent says Conte was right to quit Juventus

Italian agent Egidio Robertazzo feels Antonio Conte made the right decision to resign from Juventus. Conte dramatically quit the Serie A champs this week.

"Obviously it was a surprise, absolutely I did not expect it," Egidio Robertazzo told TuttoJuve.com.

"But it was understood that at the end of last season he was brooding over something. Conte is a Coach who must be convinced in order to give 100 per cent, otherwise he cannot work as he has.

"With this decision he has once again demonstrated a high sense of professionalism, he was not convinced and he preferred to take a step back like a true professional.

"He did not do it, for me, because he had another offer in hand, but simply because for him to do well he needed new stimuli after three seasons as a winner."
