Don't worry, he's strongly disliked in parts.
I've got a friend from Lecce (where Conte is also from) and apparently he's widely despised there. He played for Lecce before Juve, but then went on to manage Bari (Lecce's big rivals) later.
He claimed he had no loyalty to Lecce and supported whoever paid his wages, and then when Bari beat Lecce in a game which would have seen Lecce promoted, celebrated on the pitch with the Bari ultras with a flag saying something like 'anyone but the shit Lecce'.
There's also all the match-fixing stuff...

I'm disappointed in Chelsea's new manager. He seems like a pretty sound, likable bloke compared with your last nut job. You still have a few vile characters left but it looks like United will take over the mantle of most despised club again
