Chelsea head coach Antonio Conte has expressed regret at Steve Holland's decision to leave but understands his wish to be England assistant boss.
Holland was appointed assistant to England manager Gareth Southgate on Wednesday. He will continue to work at Chelsea until the end of the season and then leave Stamford Bridge.
The 46-year-old has been at Chelsea since 2009 and a constant in the coaching set-up despite the managerial turnover.
'It's a pity to lose him,' former Italy coach Conte said on Thursday.
