An ex-team-mate of the Chelsea boss at Juventus believes the Italian has everyone playing for him and is destined to lift the Premier League title
Fabrizio Ravanelli considers former Juventus team-mate Antonio Conte to be a “maniacal coach”, but also says he is a “fantastic man and a fantastic manager”.
The Italian joined the Premier League ranks last summer after being handed the reins at Chelsea.
He had work to do picking up a side that struggled in 2015-16, with interim boss Guus Hiddink having papered over cracks that formed under Jose Mourinho.
Conte oversaw a relatively slow start to the season at Stamford Bridge, but saw fortunes change when he backed his own judgement and reverted to his favoured 3-4-3 system.
