Chelsea boss Antonio Conte has paid tribute to Arsene Wenger after he announced he would be leaving Arsenal this summer.

The Italian praised the Frenchman's enduring tenure at Arsenal but also his commitment to attractive football that saw him lead Arsenal to three Premier League titles.

"I think we must pay a great tribute to Arsene Wenger for his career with Arsenal. To stay at a club for such a long time, 22 years at Arsenal, is great and is a fantastic story," Conte told reporters at Cobham on Friday.

"He won a lot for that club and for this he deserves a great tribute. I think Arsene is one of the managers who have had a great influence in football. In every moment, he tried to play good football, creative and offensive football.

"He deserves great respect, not only from Arsenal supporters but also from the whole world of football. He is one of the greatest managers, who has had a fantastic career with Arsenal and it will be very difficult to see another manager in the future stay at the same club for such a long time.

"Sir Alex Ferguson and Arsene Wenger are two that have done it and are really good stories for football."
