Chelsea boss Antonio Conte claims he ‘deserves’ more respect and has hit out at the constant speculation about his position. “It can create problems…”

Conte guided Chelsea to the Premier League title last season, but the former Juventus boss has been continually linked with a return to Italy, while media coverage of the Blues has been overshadowed by Manchester City’s dominant form this season.

“Every day there is speculation about my future,” he said at a Press conference.

Conte guided Chelsea to the Premier League title last season, but the former Juventus boss has been continually linked with a return to Italy, while media coverage of the Blues has been overshadowed by Manchester City’s dominant form this season.

“Every day there is speculation about my future,” he said at a Press conference.

“It’s not right because I think I deserve a bit of respect for what I did last season, for what I am doing this season.

“To read every week: ‘Next season the club contacts this coach or this coach’ – for me this is not a problem.

“But it can create problems with the players because the players believe we could [drift] apart.

“I have another year on my contract, so in this moment my focus is total, to improve my players, to try to improve the team, to try to improve the club.

“If you understand a bit [about] football there is a moment you must have great patience, to know that someone is working very well.

“I think last season we did a fantastic job but this job is continuing this season. We are trying to change the average age of our team.

“I think for a club like Chelsea it is very important to start to do this, if you want to create a new base and face the future with confidence.”
