Chelsea's Willian: 'No chance' I would be here if Antonio Conte stayed

HUDDERSFIELD, England -- Willian said there is no chance he would still be at Chelsea if Antonio Conte remained the manager.

Willian caused a stir in the wake of Chelsea's FA Cup final triumph in May by posting a team celebration picture on his Instagram account in which Conte was obscured by trophy emojis -- though he later told ESPN Brasil that his daughter was responsible for the edit on the image.

He also said Conte had been very difficult to work with, and speculation that he might leave Chelsea rumbled on throughout the summer with Barcelona and Manchester United both harbouring serious interest in signing him.
