Antonio Conte has been officially unveiled by Chelsea as their new manager.
The 46-year-old, who won three Serie A titles with Juventus and led Italy to the quarterfinals at Euro 2016, will be looking to revive the Blues after last season’s 10th place finish in a woeful defence of their Premier League title.

Conte preferred playing a 3-5-2 formation with la Squadra Azzurra, but refused to confirm which tactics he will adopt at Stamford Bridge.
