Antonio Conte's outstanding contribution to English football will only be appreciated when he's left Chelsea, said Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola on Friday.
Guardiola praised the Chelsea manager as a 'tactical master' ahead of their Premier League meeting at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday.
Conte's future is uncertain with last season's champions now in a fight for the top four and the Italian national team have fanned the flames by saying they want him back.
Luis Enrique, a close friend of Guardiola's from Barcelona, has been linked with the Chelsea job but City's boss was full of compliments for Conte ahead of their clash.
