The final round of Last 16 ties sprung two upsets with minnows Iceland knocking out England, as well as Italy dumping out the defending champions Spain.
But fear not, we're not here to talk about England's traumatic exit. We'll be talking about a manager who actually has tactical nous. Deemed as one of their weakest teams in history, Antonio Conte has worked wonders seeing off both Belgium and then Spain convincingly en route to the quarters-finals.
The Azzurri went ahead with Chiellini as Southampton's Pelle added a late goal to seal the victory. Though Conte was heralded, yet again, for a masterclass strategy on how to execute a perfect counter-attack plan which saw him brilliantly win the man of the match poll on Danish television.
The 46-year-old will join Chelsea after his national team duty, judging by their performances so far no wonder The Blues are excited.
