Inter Milan coach Conte over 'incredible' title achievement at Chelsea

Inter Milan coach Antonio Conte is full of pride over his title triumph at Chelsea.

Conte won the Premier League at first attempt, but was axed the following season.

He told the Telegraph: “To win in my first season with Chelsea was incredible because, if you remember very well, the year before Chelsea ended 10th in the table and, if you also remember, our transfer market wasn't an important transfer market.

“I remember I wanted N'Golo Kante and he was an incredible buy for us. Then we bought Marcos Alonso and at the time he played with Fiorentina and not all the people in the club were 100 per cent on my side in this buy. And then we bought David Luiz, who had problems in Chelsea.

“So we didn't have an important transfer market, but in that season we won the title and played the final of the FA Cup against Arsenal. I think that period was an incredible success for me, for the players and for the club."
