Antonio Conte: The stats on Chelsea´s new head coach

Antonio Conte becomes Roman Abramovich’s 10th Chelsea head coach after signing a three-year deal to take over at Stamford Bridge.

The former Juventus coach, who becomes the fifth Italian to manage Chelsea in the Premier League era, will succeed interim boss Guus Hiddink at the end of the season.

During his playing career, Conte won Serie A five times and he has continued that success as a coach, leading Juventus to three consecutive league titles before taking over as the Italian national team manager.

Here are some of the key facts and figures from Conte’s career to date, courtesy of Opta:

– Antonio Conte will be Chelsea’s fifth Italian manager after Gianluca Vialli, Claudio Ranieri, Carlo Ancelotti and Roberto Di Matteo. No other team in the Premier League has had more than one.

– He is also Roman Abramovich’s 10th different full-time manager at Chelsea (Jose Mourinho and Guus Hiddink have both had two spells in charge).
