It depends on which players are being bought and sold and if Conte wishes to further tinker with his formation and tactics. I am not confident that the Board has learnt its lessons during the summer of 2010 and 2015 when the squads stood still or were weakened. Better pray there aren't any more Djilobdojis, Hectors or Pato buys this summer otherwise Conte might just hive off to Inter Milan or Barcelona.

My salutations to Antonio Conte for all the hard work, determination and tactical nous that he has demonstrated repeatedly over the entire season so far. I had my doubts regarding his appointment and coupled with the squad's limitations on its size and technical ability, even making top 4 seemed like a challenge. He's passed every test with flying colours and deserves all the plaudits headed his way. The next test for him will be the Champions League and that will largely be determined by whom the club buys this summer. Meanwhile, celebrate his fantastic achievement and here's to more!
