Even though Chelsea failed to grab all full three points when they clashed with Burnley in their last Premier League game at Turf Moor, they still have an eight point lead over their closest title rivals and second-placed Manchester City.
Since the appointment of former Juventus boss Antonio Conte last summer, Chelsea have been absolutely brilliant under him and the Italian coach is on course to win his first Premier League title in the very first season.
The manager hired more than a few key players last summer and also managed to adequately reinforce his squad.
Players like David Luiz, Marcos Alonso, and the brilliant N’Golo Kante – all signed by Conte, have proved to be influential for the west London club this season.
As things stands now, the Stamford Bridge club under Antonio Conte have won 19 of their 25 league games and have also recently qualified for the quarter finals of the FA Cup where they will face longtime rivals Manchester United.
So, it is glaring that the manager deserves a fresh deal and if reports are anything to go by, then the Italian is getting just that.
An Italian source Tutto Mercato Web, in an exclusive report covered, claimed Chelsea have reached an agreement with Conte to extend his contract until 2020.
Even though we are still anticipating more info, especially from those at Stamford Bridge, but Chelsea supporters all over the world will sure be happy with this news.
Before becoming a superb coach, he was a superb player too. Conte, when still a footballer, began his career playing as a midfielder at local club U.S. Lecce. He later became one of the most decorated and influential players in the history of Juventus. He captained the team and won the UEFA Champions League, 5 superb Serie A titles, among other honours.
