ABRAMOVICH
Antonio Conte admits that Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich is
a "demanding boss" but says the Russian billionaire is very much a
student of the game.
The 47-year-old Italian took charge at Stamford Bridge
during the summer, and has made a strong start to his first managerial season
in the Premier League.
Interviewed through a translator on Sky Italia,
Conte says of Abramovich: "He's a very demanding employer but a great
football enthusiast.
"Mr Abramovich is an employer and owner who has great
passion for football. He wants to know and understand your ideas.
"He went to Austria to follow our training sessions. He
comes to Cobham to spend time with us and watch the videos I show to my
players, because he really wants to understand. I think this is
wonderful."
Abramovic, who turned 50 last month, has seen the Blues
win four Premier League titles one European Cup since he bought the club
in 2003.
