Conte took over the reigns at Stamford Bride two years ago after the 2016 Euros in France, where he led Italy to a quarter-final finish, (they lost 5-6 to Germany on penalties) replacing Guus Hiddink.

Before his successful stint with Juventus (2011-2014) where he won three Serie A and two Supercopaa Italaina titles, he managed four Italian clubs- Arezzo, Bari, Atlanta and Siena. Expectataions were high on the Italian as he made his way into the English football in 2016.

He delivered in style by guiding Chelsea to their fifth Premier League title, as they finished the season on 93 points- seven ahead of the second placed Tottenham Hotspur. They won 30, drew three and lost five in their 38 league matches in the 2016-17 season. Conte was sacked on July 12, 2018 by Chelsea and is set to be replaced by Maurizio Sarri.
