Antonio Conte and his successful time in England
Antonio Conte is a fantastic manager, and he had an outstanding first stint in England with Spurs’ arch-rivals, Chelsea. He won the Premier League with Chelsea along with the FA Cup as well. He even broke the record for most Premier League manager of the month wins in a row with three successive trophies.
In that amazing 2016/17 season, Conte also set a record for the most wins in a single season in the English top-flight after winning 30 of Chelsea’s 38 league games. Often, he is regarded for helping French midfielder Ngolo Kante become the best defensive midfielder in the world at Chelsea.
The risk involved in signing Conte
However, the end was not so good for Conte. Despite a strong start, he finished fifth in the league and failed to qualify for the UCL. This resulted in him being sacked, eventually.
