Antonio Conte used the international break to brush up on his English football lingo as he put Chelsea’s transfer woes behind him on a golden Italian beach. The Blues chief could be seen kissing his wife Elisabetta and brushing up on his language skills with a handy soccer phrasebook.

With no Premier League football this weekend, the Italian swapped Stamford Bridge for the sandy shores of a beach in back in his homeland.

Despite winning the title in his debut season, the 48-year-old evidently believes there is room for improvement when it comes to his English vocab.

Conte – who is sporting a golden glow whilst slumped on a sunbed – is reading a book called Football English: Soccer Vocabulary for Learners of English by Tom Challenger.

This is a book intended for football players, officials, managers and administrators who are looking to break the language barrier with their sporting colleagues.


The Chelsea boss cosied up with his wife on a sun lounger and the couple shared a kiss after paddling in the sea.
