The Premier League could be set to introduce a January or February break in the 2019-20 season - much to the delight of the Chelsea boss
Antonio Conte has backed the idea of a mid-season break in English football, with the Chelsea manager believing the current schedule is too taxing on the players.
Italian Conte was asked for his opinion on the subject at a news conference on Wednesday following speculation the Premier League are planning to introduce a break in the 2019-20 season.
According to multiple media outlets, the proposal will see a round of league fixtures staggered over two weekends in either January or February, allowing all top-flight clubs to have at least 13 days off.
