Capello: Conte is the best in Italy

The current Russia manager has praised the work of his fellow countryman and the impact he has made in Turin since taking charge in 2011

Fabio Capello has stated that Juventus’ Antonio Conte is the best manager in Italy and believes that the current Bianconeri side is the strongest in years.

Capello won two Serie A titles in his two years at the club between 2004 and 2006, before they were stripped following the Italian match fixing scandal.

Conte has matched this achievement in his first two years after winning back-to-back titles and with Juventus sitting at the top of the table entering 2014, Capello admitted Conte’s side are better.

Juve make it nine wins in a row against Atalanta

Conceding a goal after so many games made it exciting, at least temporarily, as it looked liked Juventus might be facing a challenge. Alas, Atalanta could barely control the superior talent of their opponents and the Bianconeri went on to score three more to finish the match 4-1. Another week and yet another victory for Antonio Conte's men, who look simply unstoppable in the league.

On paper, this looked to be an uneven contest between the two sides. Whilst Juventus can't stop winning, Atalanta haven't won a match since early November. They are a team that struggle to create or score and going into the match, only Genoa had attempted fewer shots on goal then the Orobici. Defensively, they work well together and limit the spaces available to the opponent, even if they tend to concede a few too many shots.

Conte hails 'incredible' Quagliarella

The Bianconeri boss credited his side's victory at the Tardini to the forward, while revealing that several key players will be unavailable for Tuesday's clash with Real Madrid.
