Antonio Conte says Carlo Ancelotti is “a great brother” to him as he tells Chelsea fans the most important English he has learned. “I like the verb, to fight.”
Conte will take charge of Chelsea after Euro 2016, and he was asked by BBC World Service about his relationship with Ancelotti, who managed the Blues between 2009 and 2011, and how his English was shaping up ahead of his move.

“Carlo was my Coach for two seasons in Juventus and a great brother for me,” he said.
“But we are two different Coaches and we live the match in two different ways. I want to play with my players. I want my players to feel me very close. I suffer and I win with them.
“He’s told me about his difficulties with the English language, the first time. My English is improving because I’m studying.
“Before, I studied a lot, but now I’m focused with the national team because we’re preparing for these Euros in the right way, with intensity.
“[On the most important words he has learned], I like the verb, to fight.”
