F.Capello: A.Conte managed to assemble a stronger "Juventus" than me © EuroFootball.com

Strategist worked at an Italian club from 2004 to 2006 and won the Italian championship twice, but lost both titles due to the "Calciopoli" scandal.

In an interview with the newspaper "TuttoSport", the coach of the Russian national team stated that A. Conte had created a force that is hard to stop.

"Conte is the best Italian coach," assured F. Capello. "He has proven it over the past few years. The hard work of the coach helped the team to regain a winning mentality."

"The entire game of 'Juve' is in Conte's hands. In Europe, of course, the competition is greater, but I believe that Antonio can dominate in the Old Continent."

"Look at the facts and statistics - numbers don't lie. Conte's 'Juventus' is better than mine," smiled the 67-year-old strategist.

"Juventus" will start the new year with a sensational match against "Roma", who are in second place, in Serie A. The teams are separated by just five points in the tournament table.

F. Capello, who led the "Rome" team for five years, says he will remain neutral during the match: "My heart will be divided in half - I will never forget the years spent in Rome and Turin."

"If 'Juve' manages to win, then the difference in the tournament table will increase to eight points. Such a deficit would be difficult to overcome," noted F. Capello.

The match between Juventus and Roma will be played on January 5 at 9:45 PM Lithuanian time.
