Exploring the Demise of Antonio Conte: From Chelsea's Enigmatic Leader to Despondent Passenger

As Ayoze Perez tapped home Newcastle United's third against Chelsea on Sunday - rubber stamping the former champions' miserable day - the camera panned across to a man in a glossy tracksuit. His arms were folded, looking like a depressed worker at the end of a long week, waiting for his train home.

This same man, 366 days previous had been seen diving head first into a pile of bodies. A smile was plastered across his face, and he was grabbing, pulling and pushing anything that would move. This was moments after he'd seen Michy Batshuayi net the goal that would give his side the Premier League crown in his maiden season in English football.
