'Special Antonio Conte': Italian press hail Chelsea manager after Premier League title triumph in debut season

The Italian press heaped praise on Antonio Conte on their front pages on Saturday after the Chelsea manager won the Premier League title in his debut campaign.

A hard-fought 1-0 win over West Brom on Friday night sealed a memorable triumph for the former Italy boss, who has also led his team to this year's FA Cup final.

And Conte was the man the media were talking about in Italy, if the front pages in his home country are anything to go by.
