# Ten things you don’t know about Antonio Conte

Antonio Conte has won the hearts of Chelsea supporters in his first year in charge at Stamford Bridge.

After overachieving with Italy at Euro 2016, Conte took over from Jose Mourinho and Guus Hiddink at Chelsea and has exceeded all expectations.

The Italian head coach is on course to lift the Premier League trophy in his first season in charge. The Blues currently sit ten points clear of Tottenham with only a dozen games remaining this season.

He’s quickly become a fan favourite at Stamford Bridge for his exuberant and wild celebrations on the touchline. While Chelsea fans have taken to the former Italy boss with easy, some haven’t.

Since taking over in the summer, we’ve already learned so much about the man, but there’s plenty that you may not know.

We’ve picked out ten things you may not now about the man who is about to guide Chelsea to their third Premier League title in three seasons.
