#5 Antonio Conte couldn't resist the urge
Watching someone eat cake isn't really funny, is it? I mean, everyone eats cake at birthday parties, so it’s not a big deal unless someone starts throwing cakes on everyone’s faces and starts the unnecessary wastage of good food.
However, when the manager of a top football club eats a cake midway during a press conference, it does seem funny.
After winning 3-0 against Leicester in January, the former Juventus manager was in the best of moods and it showed. As the conference was about to begin, Conte spotted a journalist with a piece of cake and told him that he was a bit “jealous” of it.
He then added that “if you offer me a bit, I taste a bit,” to which the journalist obliged. After having it, Conte approved of its taste with a thumbs up.
