Since Antonio Conte signed for Chelsea to become the manager of this great club, one thing he has often reiterated is hard work.

Hard work is the major philosophy for the Italian, and he has assured Chelsea fans that the only thing he can assure of is ‘work’.

Conte said: “Sometimes you can win and you are preparing yourself to disrupt yourself, and sometimes you don’t win but you are preparing to be better yourself.

“No person put a gun to my head and said you win or you go away. The only thing I can promise is to work, work, work and to try to do my best to improve the club, and then if we are able to win I am the first to be happy. But sometimes you can win but you are not building something positive for your future.”
