By AFPMore by this AuthorLONDONChelsea boss Antonio Conte insisted he remains the best man to lead the Londoners despite an alarming dip in form from the Premier League champions in his second season in charge. Wednesday's shock 3-0 home defeat to Bournemouth left Chelsea down in fourth, 18 points off runaway league leaders Manchester City, and fighting just to qualify for next season's Champions League. Conte has also repeatedly voiced his frustrations at his lack of input over the club's transfer policy, further fuelling speculation he won't remain in charge at Stamford Bridge beyond the end of the season. However, Conte is wary of throwing Giroud straight into his starting line-up for Monday night's trip to Watford. It won't be easy for him to start against Watford," added Conte.
