Conte and Daniel Levy are not compatible
The Italian gaffer is a real spitfire, a highly energetic enigma whose effervescence cannot be suppressed. His larger-than-life personality will not gel well with Levy’s need for ultimate control.
Conte needs complete autonomy and free rein to do whatever he deems necessary to find a winning formula. That includes handpicking his own personnel in the transfer market and having the license to do so without his decisions being immediately scuppered. Levy will need to hand over the keys to the castle if Conte has any chance of taking the position.
That is something Levy won’t be willing to relinquish control over.
