He still got the bricky end of the stick. Conte left when we were still more or less in the race. Stellini was left to hang to dry. He got badly exposed when he could have left with his mentor. From that point of view, you can feel sorry for him.
He didnt have to take the job. He could have refused. Agree he was exposed, but he's a big boy in a high profile role - if you can't take the heat...
