Antonio Conte joined Chelsea in the summer after leaving his position as Italy boss, taking his first job outside of his home country.

The 47-year-old had previously been with a number of Italian sides including Juventus, Siena and Atalanta and his English was not that strong.

However, he has improved greatly this season and the Blues boss has revealed it is all thanks to the help of former goalkeeper and coach Carlo Cudicini.

"Honestly Carlo is helping me a lot," Conte told Chelsea Pitch Owners.

"He is staying with me a lot of time in my day. 

"He is also my teacher in English.

"After every press conference or interview, he always tries to tell me the mistakes to correct. 

"Then sometimes to explain the situation in the right way, or with the players, with the club. 

"He is helping me a lot and he’s a really good guy. He’s a really good professional."
