Antonio Conte was born on 31st of July 1969 in Lecce, Italy.
Player Career
As a midfielder he started his career at the local club U.S. Lecce, for later to become one of the greatest players of all times of the Italian giant Juventus.
He was signed by Juventus manager Giovanni Trapattoni in 1991 (debuting 17 November 1991 vs. Torino), and was later made captain of the team before the promotion of Alessandro Del Piero to the role. During the 1998–1999 season, when Del Piero suffered a severe knee injury, Conte returned to the captaincy, a position which he maintained until the 2001–02 season. Conte won 5 Serie A titles with Juventus, the 1994–95 Coppa Italia, the 1992–93 UEFA Cup, and the 1995–96 UEFA Champions League. Along with his team he finished as runner-up on three other occasions as what some dubbed the "curse of finals" saw Juventus lose the Champions League finals of 1997, 1998 and 2003.
Conte was part of the National team on 2 big tournaments, 1994 FIFA World Cup and the 2000 UEFA European Championship, where Italy lost in the finals.
