Chelsea boss Antonio Conte: Special fans with me from first day

Chelsea boss Antonio Conte is proud of the relationship he has with fans.

Conte was serenaded by the fans during our 3-0 win over Leicester City on Saturday and his celebrations after the full-time whistle highlighted the bond between them.

"The fans with me are always special, from the first day," said the manager. "I remember for my first game they prepared a flag, an Italian flag.

"It is fantastic to have this kind of relationship with great passion. I think I show this in every game and I think they are appreciating this.

"I hope to continue this way because it's important to always stay together – with the team, the players, the fan, the club, me, my staff. It's important to continue to work together."
