Chelsea FC news: 'I hope to stay here for many years' - Antonio Conte dismisses speculation he could leave Premier League champions

Antonio Conte says he is hopeful of remaining at Chelsea for 'many years', despite reports linking the Italian with a move elsewhere.

The 47-year-old, who has guided Chelsea to the Premier League title and an FA Cup final meeting with Arsenal tomorrow, is a target for Inter Milan.

However, Conte insists that he fully expects to remain at Stamford Bridge long-term and is prepared to extend his contract beyond 2019.

"We have to finish this season and we've started to work for the next season," he said.

"We will try to improve the squad next season because we have to face an important competition like the Champions League.
