Chelsea boss Conte: This Double would be bigger than Ancelotti's

Chelsea boss Antonio Conte insists winning the Double this season would be a bigger achievement than Carlo Ancelotti's triumph.

Should the Italian go on to claim the FA Cup and the Premier League titles, he will emulate Ancelotti, who also claimed the Double in his first season in charge of the west London club seven years ago.

"You must always hope and work to reach this target, but I think my situation, if you compare my situation with Ancelotti's situation, is totally different," he said.

"We started our work to put the foundation and to build something important. I think in that moment, that was the foundation."
