&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Claudio Ranieri&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;and&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Antonio Conte&lt;/strong&gt;, two coaches who have written memorable pages of Italian and European football, are returning to face each other in Serie A. Their confrontation is not just a question of points or ranking, but represents a duel between two&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;generations&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;and two ways of interpreting the coaching profession. Ranieri, at 71, is writing a last,&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;romantic page&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;of his extraordinary career with Roma, while Conte, 18 years younger, is engaged in the ambitious challenge to bring the tricolour back to&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Naples&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;and become the first coach to win the Scudetto with more than two different teams.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The first meeting between the two dates back to&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;29 November 2009&lt;/strong&gt;, when Conte`s&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Atalanta&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;hosted Ranieri`s&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Roma&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;. Both took the reins of their respective teams not long before: Ranieri, taking over from Spalletti, managed to turn the Giallorossi into a competitive machine, while Conte, fresh from promotion with Bari, had a troubled experience in Bergamo. The match ended&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;2-1 to Roma&lt;/strong&gt;, with goals from Vucinic and Perrotta, and the first duel went to the Roma coach.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;b3743fe1-4f33-462a-8f17-1c1fb5c76326&#34; data-image-id=&#34;b3743fe1-4f33-462a-8f17-1c1fb5c76326&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/0cd2a8a0-c231-4ddf-b5b9-d8bc47eafaa4/Sito_HERO_ranieri.png&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;b3743fe1-4f33-462a-8f17-1c1fb5c76326&#34; data-image-id=&#34;b3743fe1-4f33-462a-8f17-1c1fb5c76326&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;In the following years, the paths of the two crossed again on the stage of the&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Derby d`Italia&lt;/strong&gt;. Conte, after a new promotion to Serie A with Siena, was asked to lead the Juventus team, while Ranieri found himself on the Inter bench, taking over from Gasperini after only four matches. Ranieri`s effect worked initially, and with a series of eight consecutive victories the reigning Italian and European champions recovered, but it did not last long. At the helm of the Bianconeri, Conte won both the&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;first leg at San Siro&amp;nbsp;2-1&lt;/strong&gt;, with goals from Vucinic and Marchisio, and the&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;return leg at the Stadium 2-0&lt;/strong&gt;, with goals from Caceres and Del Piero. The defeat in Turin marked the end of Ranieri`s adventure at Inter, who was replaced by Stramaccioni.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;84e9a0df-b043-42bd-9d40-d6e9e018133e&#34; data-image-id=&#34;84e9a0df-b043-42bd-9d40-d6e9e018133e&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/86abb29c-72cf-42e2-8185-2617ac3270d0/Sito_HERO_conte_juve.png&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;84e9a0df-b043-42bd-9d40-d6e9e018133e&#34; data-image-id=&#34;84e9a0df-b043-42bd-9d40-d6e9e018133e&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;Both subsequently experienced important phases in the&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Premier League&lt;/strong&gt;, writing history. Ranieri performed a miracle with&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Leicester&lt;/strong&gt;, enchanting the world and winning the Premier in 2015/16. Conte, for his part, led&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Chelsea&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;to the title the following year with a relentless team. In England they faced each four more times, three between Leicester and Chelsea and one between&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Watford&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;and&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Tottenham&lt;/strong&gt;. Conte won all four clashes, but Ranieri`s legacy in the hearts of English fans remains incalculable.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;67d2b765-0181-4733-80f8-d432047568ef&#34; data-image-id=&#34;67d2b765-0181-4733-80f8-d432047568ef&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/c258b97a-e932-4de6-9fcb-f7df68884837/Sito_HERO_conte_ranieri.png&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;67d2b765-0181-4733-80f8-d432047568ef&#34; data-image-id=&#34;67d2b765-0181-4733-80f8-d432047568ef&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;The rivalry between the two returned to San Siro again, in the 2019/20 season, when Conte accepts&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Inter&lt;/strong&gt;`s challenge, while Ranieri is in his second year on the Sampdoria bench. At the Meazza, the Nerazzurri won&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;2-1&lt;/strong&gt;thanks to&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Lu-La&lt;/strong&gt;, but Ranieri took his&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;revenge&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;on 6 January 2021: at the Marassi,&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Samp&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;won by the same scoreline with the two former Inter players on the scoresheet: Candreva and Keità Balde. Four months, 15 wins and four draws later, the Nerazzurri welcomed the Ligurians as newly crowned champions of Italy and on the day of the&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Scudetto celebration&lt;/strong&gt;, the Blucerchiati were overwhelmed 5-1, confirming the dominance of Conte`s team that season.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;49b3be80-d248-447d-88f0-fc20ac09daea&#34; data-image-id=&#34;49b3be80-d248-447d-88f0-fc20ac09daea&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/b04eb13e-1613-4942-810a-b129870f26c3/Sito_HERO_int.png&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;49b3be80-d248-447d-88f0-fc20ac09daea&#34; data-image-id=&#34;49b3be80-d248-447d-88f0-fc20ac09daea&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;On Sunday, at the&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Maradona&lt;/strong&gt;, Ranieri and Conte will appraoch the match with contrasting numbers and motivations.
