“My objective is to lay the foundations so Chelsea can continue to win,” he told La Repubblica.
“This is already a big club, but it’s inconsistent. They won the Champions League, then went out in the first round. They won the Premier League and then finished 10th. Chelsea need to find stability at the top.
“It’s not all happiness and light. The arrival was, but the journey wasn’t. With my wife in January we decided that Vittoria would finish school in Turin, even if she was already registered to start in London."

Conte also reveals that his family will join him in London next season.
“However, if I am to stay, then they will come and stay with me. It will be a great opportunity for my daughter to live in a foreign country.
"I’ll tell you one thing for sure, I won’t have another year on my own.”

The 47-year-old is pleased with how his professional life has gone over the course of the last year, although he admits that the adaption was a two-way process.
“The guys accepted new methods: very intense training sessions, the diet, the video analysis and importance of details. I feel fortified.
I remain narrow-minded in my work, but I am more flexible. I learned to turn a blind eye to certain things, like players eating scrambled eggs before a game… You have to accept the traditions of a country,” he said.
“You also need to speak the language, out of respect. I had studied it at school, but had a two-week intensive course. Learning English felt like climbing a mountain: with strong motivation, nothing is insurmountable.”
