Antonio Conte is set to take charge at Chelsea this summer and bring a start to what is being dubbed as a new era at Stamford Bridge.

For some, it can be a clean slate, a fresh start at the club as they bid to impress the incoming boss and hope to get their chance at the club. However, for some players, it can be a sideways step.
