Chelsea midfielder Cesc Fabregas says he's been impressed by new manager Antonio Conte.

Fabregas is tipped to start Spain's last-16 clash with Conte's Italy on Monday.

“I met Conte briefly and he made a very good impression," Fabregas told Gazzetta dello Sport.

“He is a great Coach, a winner. He told me what he wants from me, what he wants to do at Chelsea and various other things that will remain private.

“I really want to start working with him. Now I hope he can get to work at Chelsea as soon as possible. Hopefully from Tuesday he can concentrate on his new job."
