Conte, the man who never slips up twice: a unique Serie A record | OneFootball

Never two missteps in a row. This is the trait that best describes Antonio Conte, a coach who has built his career on the immediacy of his reaction. At the helm of Juventus, Inter, and Napoli, the coach from Lecce has never experienced two consecutive defeats in the league: a record that speaks to his mental strength more than the trophies themselves.

Managerial stats and a leader’s mentality

This record lives not only in the numbers, but can also be translated into “managerial” terms. Two indicators, highlighted by AreaNapoli, help to understand it: the BBLR (Back-to-Back Loss Rate), which measures the frequency of double defeats, and the CLAI (Consecutive-Loss Avoidance Index), which represents the opposite, that is, the ability to bounce back. Applying these indices to Conte’s Italian career, the result is impressive: BBLR of 0% and CLAI at 100%. This means that, in Serie A, his teams have always reacted after every loss.

In the Premier League, the numbers remain at an absolute top level, albeit with a few blemishes: with Chelsea, three double defeats in 76 matches (BBLR 3.9% – CLAI 96.1%); with Tottenham, another three in 56 games (BBLR 5.4% – CLAI 94.6%). Adding up the English experiences, the overall figure remains exceptional: BBLR 4.6%, CLAI 95.4%. The comparison with Massimiliano Allegri confirms the rarity of the phenomenon: the coach from Livorno, in 434 matches between Milan and Juventus, records only three “double falls” (BBLR 0.69%, CLAI 99.31%).
