Pep Guardiola has praised Antonio Conte as possibly the world’s finest manager and said the Italian has made Chelsea even stronger contenders to win the Premier League title. After finishing 10th and 31 points behind Leicester City last term, Conte has transformed the side’s fortunes with seven successive victories. Guardiola said: “Conte is without doubt, one of the best, maybe the best coach in the world right now. “He has started here with maybe not good results, but they have won last seven games, conceding one goal. That’s why they had two days off and we were training for three days to prepare for Chelsea.
