Chelsea, the fans have already forgotten Conte: 'With Sarri a different story'
After the tenth place with Hiddink, the worst result obtained by the Blues in the last 21 years in the league, Conte won the Premier League and replicated Mourinho's success from two seasons before. But Conte has never managed to enter the hearts of the fans, a goal already achieved by his successor Maurizio Sarri. From one coach to another, Chelsea continues to speak Italian even if the feelings of the fans are completely different.
What do the fans think of the two Italian coaches? Calciomercato.com was exclusively at the Stamford Bridge during the Europa League match between Chelsea and PAOK to directly collect the impressions of some fans.
"Conte has only one goal in mind, that is to win, while for Sarri, beyond the result it is essential to produce a beautiful game." For Jack, a 35-year-old fan of Chelsea, the main difference between the two lies in the strategy adopted to achieve success.
"Conte is a good manager. He was sacked after just two seasons. In my opinion, he deserved more time. Sarri? He is clearly the right person for Chelsea's growth in every respect. I think it will take a couple of seasons to see the best of Sarri's Chelsea. Who do I prefer? Surely Sarri.
Peter, a season ticket holder for ten years has the same opinion: "Sarri is a fantastic coach. He did a great job at Napoli and I think the team will do great things with him on the bench. He is a brilliant coach and will help the club grow. Conte? I must be honest, I never liked him, despite the Premier League victory. I prefer Sarri by far."
Thus said, there is full confidence in the former Napoli coach at the Stamford Bridge and he has made the fans already forget Conte, despite his immediate success in London.
