In less than two seasons at Chelsea, Antonio Conte has won the Premier League, lost the Community Shield, an FA Cup final and made enemies with some of the best players at the club.
The Italian is known for discarding players he feels are not physical enough to match his energetic and tactical approach.
Cesc Fabregas could have been ostracized but the Spaniard tilted his game to suit Conte while David Luiz has played some of the best football of his career under the former Juventus manager.

NAIJ.com takes a look at 4 footballer's Conte has not treated fairly during his time in London so far;
1. Diego Costa
The most obvious example to have been on the black book of Conte is Diego Costa who has been told he would not be needed next season despite being the club's top goalscorer last season.
Reports claim, the coach does not want the player because he asked for a transfer to China in the January transfer window which was rejected three times.

2. Mikel Obi
Many familiar with Mikel will tell you he was discarded by Conte because he represented Nigeria at the 2016 Olympics where he led the dream team to bronze.
Conte wanted all players availiable when the season started but Mikel was in Rio playing for Nigeria.

The Super Eagles captain did not play once in his final six months at the club before his transfer to Tianjin TEDA in January.
3. Kenedy
Nobody can blame the coach for his treatment of Kenedy. The player has a poor attitude and was sent out of the Chelsea camp during the pre-season in China because of some racist posts on Instagram.
He has been loaned out once again and it seems the Brazilian has no future at the club.
