“Conte is preparing for Chelsea,” Capello told Fox Sports Italia.
“He has the time to arrive and train Chelsea in the best way, as this is an important club.

“Conte is preparing for Chelsea,” Capello told Fox Sports Italia.
“He has the time to arrive and train Chelsea in the best way, as this is an important club.
“I think the most important thing will be the team he is able to put on the field. He needs defenders and there aren’t that many around.
“His communication with the players will also be fundamental. I myself had a difficult experience in Russia where I always had to speak through a translator.
“It was not easy, because the players always expect that extra word from the Coach, the decisive statement to let you understand or change something.”
Conte has been learning English for some time, though it’s not yet clear at what level his language skills are.
