Conte was removed from his post as head coach of Chelsea in the summer and was replaced with Maurizio Sarri. However, Conte left his mark at the club in just two seasons.

The Italian joined Chelsea before the 2016/17 season after helping Italy to the quarter-final of the Euro 2016.

Chelsea won the Premier League title in Conte’s debut season with 93 points and 30 wins. At that time, it was a Premier League record but it was bettered by Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City in 2017/18.

Conte's Chelsea also reached the final of the FA Cup in his first season but lost to Arsenal in the final. The following season, Conte fell out with the Chelsea management over transfers and also with key first team players David Luiz and Diego Costa.

Chelsea only managed to finish 5th in the league in Conte’s second season but they won the FA Cup by beating rivals Manchester United in the final.

The Italian’s work at Chelsea was spectacular considering the issues he had throughout his tenure.

Before Chelsea, Conte was at Juventus for three seasons and it was under his tutelage that the Old Lady became a force to reckon with.
