Antonio Conte will lead Chelsea in the new season

(Baonghean.vn) - Antonio Conte is the latest name in the group of talented young coaches in the world who will join the Premier League in the 2016 - 2017 season after signing a 3-year contract with Chelsea FC.

The 46-year-old Italian coach confirmed on Monday that he will take over at Stamford Bridge after finishing his stint in charge of Italy's Euro 2016 squad this summer.

Coach Antonio Conte will lead Chelsea FC next season.

"I am delighted to be joining this historic club, Chelsea," Conte said on the club's official website.

"I am proud to be the national team manager of my country and only the role of Chelsea manager could have appealed to me in the next step of my coaching career. I am looking forward to meeting everyone at the club and am thrilled to be joining such a competitive league as the Premier League."

The heavy task awaiting Conte is to restore the image of the reigning Premier League champions after a poor season on all fronts that cost The Blues the chance to participate in the Champions League next season.

Along with Pep Guardiola - the new coach of Manchester City, Conte is the next bright star in the European coaching world to join England's top league.
