Chelsea’s assistant manager Steve Holland will leave at the end of the season to become England’s assistant boss.

46-year-old Steve Holland has been at Chelsea since 2009 and Chelsea manager Antonio Conte has expressed his disappointment at Holland’s decision to leave Chelsea.

Conte said: “It’s a pity to lose him.

“But also I understand him for this choice because this type of situation can arrive only once in life, to be coach or assistant coach of your national team or your country.

“He’s helping me a lot in my experience in Chelsea because he has great experience with this club.”
