Conte starts at Chelsea! Five things on the manager's to-do list as preseason begins

There’s a lot of work to be done for the new manager at Stamford Bridge with his email inbox likely already full of requests from the club's directors.

Antonio Conte starts his first day of work at Chelsea on Monday with his Euro 2016 commitments concluded as Italy was defeated by Germany in the quarter final.

Fresh from a week-long holiday, the Italian has arrived at Chelsea's Cobham training ground to meet players and staff and begin the club’s preseason.

Conte will make his bow in a Chelsea dug out against Rapid Vienna in Austria on Saturday before heading to Velden for a training camp and participation in the International Champions Cup in Los Angeles.
