Conte: I hope the best for Chelsea
Tottenham head coach Antonio Conte, who led Chelsea to the Premier League title in 2017 and FA Cup in 2018, has given his reaction to this morning’s news that the UK government had sanctioned Blues owner Roman Abramovich.
“It’s not easy, it’s not easy. Honestly, it’s a pity, because I was coach in this club, in Chelsea, I enjoyed two seasons,” Conte said.
“Also, I won two titles, I worked in this club. It’s a pity to listen to this situation; it’s not simple for the players, it’s not simple for Thomas Tuchel, for the fans, for the whole environment, Chelsea environment.
“Honestly, I hope that in general, that this situation between Russia and Ukraine is going to finish, and to find peace, because it’s too much important. And then, other situations that are coming, from this conflict. I think that it’s not right.
“I hope the best for this club because I worked in this club, I enjoyed the two seasons. For sure, I love the team, the club, that I worked in, in the past. Not every team that worked in the past I love, but I hope for the best for them.”
