Chelsea manager Antonio Conte is set to get a new deal from the club after an impressive debut season.

The former Italian national team coach is poised to lead the Blues to yet another Premier League title at the end of this term. They sit ten points clear at the top of the log, with barely 11 games to go.

Antonio Conte raised speculation that captain John Terry could be leaving the club at the end of the season.

He refused to do give any concrete ideas that the 35-year-old will stay at the club beyond this campaign. Terry’s contract runs out at the end of the season and he has not been offered a new deal just yet. It was rumoured that he would leave the club even as early as last summer, but Antonio Conte is believed to have been keen on keeping the player in order to provide some continue to in the dressing room after a managerial change.

The 2017-18 season of the Premier League is not turning out as exciting as it was initially expected to be.

Before the current season had kicked off, people were beginning to get enthusiastic as it was confirmed that a number of highly-rated managers were going to take charge of top clubs in the Premier League.

Former Manchester United winger Ryan Giggs is not surprised that Antonio Conte has managed to transform Chelsea from the bottom-up.

Conte was a highly influential midfielder at Juventus, and Giggs was one of the players who was present during the era when he dominated the Italian Serie A. Giggs now says that Conte was always a leader and that it is not surprising that he has entered into management and been successful. Conte is widely known for his managerial spells with Juventus and Italy. He took Juventus from the second division of Italian football into champions on four consecutive seasons.

Antonio Conte branded the 5-0 win over Everton as extremely important for the club.

Chelsea’s impressive victory against the Merseyside outfit saw them go top of the table – albeit until the next 24 hours when the likes of Liverpool and Arsenal play. Still, it has been an impressive month and a half from the blues. Conte has managed to turn around the fortunes of the club which suffered back-to-back losses against Liverpool and Arsenal towards the end of September. The manager reverted to his usual 3-4-3 formation since the Arsenal game and he has managed to transform Chelsea into one of the best footballing outfits in England right now.
