Antonio Conte hails his first Scudetto victory with Juventus in his first season, as his greatest achievement to date.
The former Bianconeri player and manager took charge of the club in the summer of 2011 after Gigi Del Neri was sacked after a poor season in which the club finished seventh and missed out on qualification for Europe.
He went onto win the Scudetto in his first season, finishing unbeaten in the League and losing to Napoli in the Coppa Italia Final.
“As a coach [my greatest achievement] was the first championship of my career with Juventus.”
“It was fantastic because we started the season as the underdog and the press had us down for sixth or seventh place in the table.”
“I remember that Milan had Zlatan Ibrahimovic and it was the only season that he didn’t win the championship.”
“I remember Inter won the treble in their last season under Mourinho and Napoli had Cavani and Hamsik, in that period we were the underdogs and we won our first title unbeaten.”
Antonio Conte now finds himself in a similar situation at Chelsea, after the club failed to retain their Premier League trophy last season, sacking Jose Mourinho in December and finishing in 10th place.
“When you finish in tenth place it means there are problems, in this situation the most important thing is to think of the present. Don’t forget about the past because it teaches us a lot. It is important to think of the present because we must work very hard and speak through our actions, not words.”
“Because it is important now to say okay, we are ready to fight, we can come back very soon and to win the title – those are just words. Its important now to act, all together, because now is not a good period for us. There are problems but we stay here to solve them.”
“The situation is not easy and it’s very important to understand this. Also, it’s important to stay together in this moment and to create the right spirit between us, the fans, the club, players, manager and all the people who work at Chelsea.”
