Furious Chelsea manager Antonio Conte turns the air Blue amid reports of player unrest
Italian calls speculation linking Carlo Ancelotti with return to club ‘b*******’ and denies his squad are upset over training methods
Antonio Conte described reports of unrest at Chelsea that cast doubt over his future at the reigning Premier League champions as “b*******” on Friday.
The furious Italian denied his reign has been undermined by players texting his former assistant Steve Holland to complain of his training methods and rejected a story that he will not see out the remaining 20 months of his contract.
Speculation has linked the board with a move for Carlo Ancelotti to replace Conte, but Chelsea’s indignant boss has accused his critics of showing a “lack of respect”.
“Around us there [is] a lot of b*******. This is true. If I look at the past, I see it happened the same with the other managers. A lot of b*******,” Conte said.
“They try to create problems between me, the club and the players. If someone is happy to continue to write this, I answer very well in the past. I am answering very well about these different issues.
