Former Chelsea technical director, Michael Emenalo, has debunked rumours that Antonio Conte’s time in West London is coming to an end following speculations linking him with an exit.

Emenalo left the Blues last month after 10 years at the club during tensions between Conte and the Chelsea hierarchy over transfers.

Emenalo told talkSPORT saying;

Chelsea are very good at finding some very good people to manage or coach that club. I think they have one of the best three coaches in the world which is in Antonio Conte.

He further said;

I think that he enjoys a lot of respect at the senior level, the board level and the ownership level of the club, so there should be no worries at all.

It is true that I have a very good personal relationship with him, I love his work, I love his passion, I love his ideas. I think he’ll be just fine.
He is surrounded by a lot of competent assistants, those he brought with him and those who were already at the club, and their recent results just show they will keep going on stronger and stronger,

Michael Emenalo is currently the sporting director at Monaco.
