Antonio Conte appointed as new Chelsea manager

Chelsea have appointed Antonio Conte as the club’s new manager on a three-year deal.

Italy boss Conte will join the London club when his Euro 2016 campaign comes to an end this summer.

Conte will be joined by his long-term assistants, Angelo Alessio and Massimo Carrera, at Stamford Bridge.

The 46-year-old led Juventus to three successive titles before taking charge of Italy in 2014 on a two-year deal.

Conte told chelseafc.com: “I am happy we have made the announcement now so everything is clear and we can end the speculation.

“I will continue to focus on my job with the Italian national team and will reserve speaking about Chelsea again until after the Euros.”
