Chelsea Football Club have finally appointed Antonio Conte as their new manager. The ex-Juventus manager has signed a 3 year deal with the West London club and is set to take over at SW6 after the Euros in France.
After receiving confirmation to what was probably the worst-kept secret of the summer, Chelsea fans took to Twitter to welcome the Italian to their club. Here are some of the best Twitter reactions to Conte’s arrival.
Conte: great manager, scary guy. Last time I saw him he gave death stare to photographer whose phone went off during news conference #cfc

I hope we have success with Conte for the 2 years he’ll be here before the players eventually get him sacked. ? #CFC

Before the massive clear out of our squad, first and foremost thing #Conte has to do is to get our soul back. #CFC

From his record at Juventus, I have to say that there aren’t many mangers I’d rather have than Antonio Conte #cfc

Very happy with Conte – his approach is exactly what’s needed and he won’t stand for ego’s or those underperforming #CFC

Guardiola to City official, Conte to Chelsea official. Somewhere José Mourinho is ferociously pressing F5 on Man United’s home page.

Antonio Conte was due in court about match-fixing today. Instead named Chelsea manager.
