Gary Neville was hammered by his fellow pundits when he advised Manchester United to avoid hiring Antonio Conte... but the legendary defender has been proved spot on.
Tottenham parted company with Conte on Sunday night after another season without silverware, with the London club's most recent trophy coming in 2008. The Italian lasted just 16 months in the job and called his players "selfish" in an ugly final press conference.
Several pundits criticised United for failing to appoint Conte in November 2021, when Tottenham gave the former Chelsea boss a job. The Red Devils decided to wait until the end of the season to lure Erik ten Hag from Ajax, a decision which has been vindicated.
