Since joining Stamford Bridge, Conte's salary has been only around £6 million, less than half the income of Mourinho and Pep Guardiola. However, he still refused to return home to lead Inter Milan and is ready to sign a new contract with Chelsea, most likely for up to 4 years. However, whether the Italian strategist's contractual demands will be met by owner Roman Abramovich is a big question mark.
The Diego Costa problem?
Diego Costa is almost certain to leave Stamford Bridge. The Brazilian striker has become a killer in the Premier League at the moment, however, Costa is planning to play in China. The 28-year-old's current contract with Chelsea is still valid until 2019 and clearly, he is still the one who decides whether to stay or go at Stamford Bridge. Chelsea still need a main striker and in case Costa leaves, the biggest question is who will come and fill the role of this player...
When the season ends, Chelsea will compete on many fronts, including the Champions League, the pressure on the champion will also be greater... Michy Batshuayi has not shown much in Chelsea's shirt this season, that will be a concern for Antonio Conte in attack. Chelsea's defense also needs to be reinforced.
And certainly "The Blue" will have to invest more heavily in the transfer market if they don't want to lose everything.
Will John Terry's departure affect Chelsea's dressing room strength?

After Frank Lampard, John Terry will leave Chelsea. The nominal captain of Chelsea will leave a big gap in both expertise and influence even though he has not played regularly this season. Everything will have to be rebuilt and restarted without the person who has had the most influence on Chelsea during the past time. When facing difficulties, the lack of a leader on the field and spirit will become more and more obvious. That is a difficult problem for Antonio Conte.
Will Chelsea find a "new song"?
After the defeat to Arsenal at the beginning of the season, Chelsea switched to a 3-4-3 formation. And the switch to this new formation "changed" the fate of The Blues before winning the Premier League title. After Chelsea's sublime matches, opponents had enough time to study Coach Conte's philosophy and find ways to counter it.
Any team would want to turn the champion into a loser, along with other questions for Chelsea, the pressure on the Italian strategist is predicted to be very heavy. If Antonio Conte can solve the above problems, he will become a great coach in Chelsea's history.
