​Chelsea legend Terry: Conte training much tougher than Mourinho

Chelsea legend John Terry has revealed that Antonio Conte's training sessions are much tougher than that of Jose Mourinho.

Terry lifted the Premier League title for Chelsea under both Antonio Conte as well as Jose Mourinho and while comparing the two decorated managers, the ex-Blues captain stated that the Italian's training sessions were much harsher.

Terry said on Sky Sports: "[It's] not hard at all [to play under Conte]. His training is very tough."

"Yes," Terry replied when asked whether the Italian's training was harder than Mourinho's. "Tougher than most, physically tougher, more demanding, a bit more running, which is normal for Italian coaches.

"Tactically a little bit more, but I think you can see, when you're a player, working 45 minutes to an hour every day on your tactics and you see that benefit at the weekend, you don't mind doing it. He's got a real good balance and he makes it enjoyable week in, week out."
