Chelsea have confirmed that they have sacked manager Antonio Conte.
The Italian took charge of their first four days of pre-season but speculation had long suggested he would be fired by the Stamford Bridge outfit.
This was finally confirmed on Friday via a statement released by the Stamford Bridge side.
"Chelsea Football Club and Antonio Conte have parted company," they said.
"During Antonio’s time at the club, we won our sixth league title and eighth FA Cup. In the title-winning season, the club set a then-record 30 wins in a 38-game Premier League season, as well as a club-record 13 consecutive league victories.
