Conte: I am not worried about losing my job

Chelsea manager Antonio Conte is once again facing uncertainty over his future at Stamford Bridge, at least according to various media outlets in England, who believe that Antonio Conte will not stay at Chelsea beyond this summer.
The Italian has looked like a frustrated coach after several attempts by the club to land his preferred players proved impossible from last summer to this January transfer window. Recent media reports suggest that Chelsea’s board is not happy with Conte, who constantly claims that he has no say in the transfer market, pushing all the blames to the board. It is this kind of discord that breeds uncertainty but Conte insists he has no fear of losing his job.
He said: "As I said before my only worry is to work, only to work very hard but for sure if you look at the stats you can see that in 14 years, 10 managers were sacked in this club.

"But the stats are this but at the same time when you are sure about your work and that you are doing everything to improve this club and to work this way with the players, under this aspect I am very relaxed, calm, very relaxed and I don't have this type of worry.

"When you start the season everyone has to try to dream. It is right to dream and then there is the reality and you have to fight the reality to try sometimes to overcome the reality like last season and to do something special but for sure it is not simple, not easy.

"I think that there are different times for every team to understand if you can go to fight for everything or go to work very hard. To dream but at the same time to be ready to fight for a place in Champions League and fight to try to reach a semi-final or a final but there are different ties."

Conte will be hoping to lead Chelsea to victory when they face Newcastle in the FA Cup on Sunday.
