Chelsea star Willian is hoping new Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri isn’t like former Chelsea boss Antonio Conte.

According to Willian, Conte was a difficult manager to work with.

“I hope he is not like Conte,” Willian told ESPN Brazil. “No, I’m kidding!

“For me, Conte was a manager who was very difficult to work with. His philosophy, his way of dealing with things is very complicated. There were a few games … Sometimes we just don’t understand. You’re playing very well, then you get substituted. I do not understand. There were two times when I got substituted and I went straight to the locker room. It was hard to work with him.

“The important thing now is to talk about Sarri. From what I heard, I am sure he is a great manager, who does a great job with the team. I have high expectations for working with him.”
