Antonio Conte insists he is not out for revenge as he returns to Chelsea for the first time since his 2018 sacking in the League Cup semi-final with Tottenham this week

Antonio Conte is adamant he has nothing to prove to Chelsea as he prepares for his first return to Stamford Bridge since being sacked in 2018.

Tottenham travel to west London for the first-leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final on Wednesday, a game that sees Conte go back to the club that unceremoniously dumped him four years ago despite winning the Premier League title and an FA Cup during his two seasons in charge.

At the time, the Italian’s exit came amid a backdrop of tensions between the head coach and the Chelsea board over various issues - namely player recruitment.
