Chelsea new Italian manager Antonio Conte has thanked all Chelsea fans for the support they have given him since his arrival in England last summer.
The former Juventus manager has admitted that he gets embarrassed when he hears the fans sing his name. He however stated that Chelsea supporters have been “incredible” to him.
Following his appointment as Chelsea’s new coach last year’s summer, Conte is currently adapting to life as boss in the west London club.
The Italian coach has earned lots of praise for the impact he has had at Stamford Bridge, after successfully guiding the blues to the top of the Premier League table.
As things stands now, the West London club are regarded as heavy favourites to win the premier league this season. They have also successfully built an eight-point lead over title rivals and second-placed Manchester City.
And the manager admits that he has been quite thrilled by the reception he has been given by Chelsea fans since his arrival in England last year.
Conte speaking to Chelsea Pitch Owners attested to how incredible the fans are.
“I remember my first game against West Ham they prepared the flag with three colours, the Italy flag, the Tricolore. And then they showed me very soon great enthusiasm, great passion.
“For me it is fantastic to hear my name during the game, at home or away. Sometimes I’m embarrassed, but it is fantastic.
“Honestly the first time happen, with Everton, my assistant coach called me to tell me, ‘Mister, the crowd is singing for you.” And then I understood: “Antonio, Antonio, Antonio…’
“Away, [the fans] are incredible. In Liverpool – believe me, it is very difficult to hear the other fans, the opposition fans – and there were 3,000 of our fans, and they pushed a lot our team.”
Conte and his men are now preparing to take on Swansea City in their next Premier League lmatch at Stamford Bridge on Saturday afternoon.
