Following the FA Cup final win on Saturday, Chelsea striker Olivier Giroud has admitted he would be upset if boss Antonio Conte leaves the club, as reported by the Evening Standard.
Eden Hazard scored the all-important winner from the penalty spot against Manchester United as Giroud won his fourth FA Cup in just five years, having had success with Arsenal in recent campaigns.
The final itself wasn’t the best spectacle with both sides struggling to make much of a positive impact in the game in a tight and cagey match at Wembley.
There has been plenty of talk over the future of Chelsea boss Conte, but after winning the FA Cup, the Blues’ board could be tempted to rethink their evident intentions to replace the Italian.
He is very popular with a number of the players and the general consensus is that it would be a disappointment if he was to leave.
Giroud spoke of his desire for Conte to remain at the club:
It will be sad if the manager will leave. We need to move on – I have got a World Cup and then I will think about next year. I want to win some more trophies with Chelsea.
