Antonio Conte says he’s “a bit of a disaster” at convincing clubs to sign players but “very good” at improving the ones he has.
The Chelsea manager has been very vocal about the club’s transfer policy in recent weeks, and walked out on Juventus claiming they wouldn’t spend the money necessary to compete in the Champions League.
“I have to speak more with the managers who are very, very good at persuading their clubs to spend money to buy top players,” Conte said in his Press conference today.

“I think I'm a bit of a disaster to convince the club to buy players. I think in this aspect I can improve a lot.
"I have to learn a lot from the other coaches, the other managers, in that aspect.
“Usually in my experience, I think I reached the best results possible with the players that I have to work with.
“I think that I'm the type of coach who, if I have a player who is six, I bring him to an eight. If I have a player who is eight, I take him to 10. I'm this type of coach.
“My task is to try and improve every single players, in every aspect. About mentality also. About the desire, the will to fight, and the tactical aspects. Yes. My task is this. For this, I'm very good.”
