Chelsea boss Antonio Conte: I never felt job under threat

Chelsea boss Antonio Conte insists he's never considered his job was in doubt.

After victory over Watford, Conte claimed he never felt pressure going into the game.

He explained: "I feel a lot of pressure, but not this type of pressure if the club decide to sack me. I don't feel this pressure because I trust in my work. I try to give everything for the club I am working for. I am doing this for Chelsea, I did this last season, I am doing this with my staff this season. Honestly I will never be worried about this, never.

"Together with my players I want to give satisfaction to our fans. I feel this type of pressure. Our fans show me and my players a lot of passion in every game. I feel this type of pressure, but other pressure is not important for me. This is our job. When I go to my house, I am happy because I know I am putting 150 per cent for my club, and my players are doing the same."
