The Italian took his first training session at the club at the Blues’ Cobham training ground on Wednesday. The players comprised of players who did not participate in the knockout rounds of either Euro 2016 or Copa America, with the exception of summer signing Michy Bathsuayi. It also included captain John Terry, Branislav Ivanovic, John Obi Mikel Nemanja Matic, Willian, Oscar and Ruben Loftus-Cheek.
Conte has extremely vocal and involved himself in the proceedings. This could be an early indication of his hard and unforgiving style, which the players will have to get used to.
