Chelsea boss Antonio Conte has paid tribute to Chelsea legend John Terry, who left Chelsea for Aston Villa this summer.

“I think it was maybe the most difficult season for him, for a lot of reasons,” Conte told Sky Sports.

“He showed to be before a great man and then a great player. He showed he will always be a great captain for this team and I have to tell him a big, big, big thanks.”
