PL / CHELSEA, Ray Wilkins: \"Conte is perfect for Chelsea\"

Published on: 05 April 2016

Ray Wilkins shares his thoughts on Antonio Conte's appointment as Chelsea's new manager.

Former Chelsea coach Ray Wilkins believes that newly appointed boss Antonio Conte will want to keep JohnTerry at Stamford Bridge.

Wilkins told sky sports that Conte will want to learn from Terry and his experience with the club. Wilkins also believes that John Terry is a great player and will be whether he is at Chelsea next season or not.

“John Terry is an exceptional player and he will be for a couple of years, whether he is at Chelsea or elsewhere.

“Antonio will want his experience and will want to pick his brains about what he is coming into.

“I think it’s probably the best kept secret that hasn’t been kept, that [Conte] will be coming. He’s done exceptionally well at Juventus so there is no reason to suggest he won’t do well at Chelsea.

“He’s a youthful, energetic character and there is no reason to suggest he won’t do a good job. This year they’ve had a torrid time and it’s not been pleasant to watch at times but Antonio comes in with a clean sheet.

“He’s very keen on the European scene is [club owner Roman] Abramovich but they have to compete for the Premier League too. Titles are important for a club like Chelsea – the Premier League is their bread and butter.”
