Antonio Conte (Italian pronunciation: [anˈtɔːnjo ˈkonte]; born 31 July 1969) is an Italian professional football manager and former player. He is currently the manager of Premier League club Chelsea.
Playing as a midfielder, Conte began his career at local club U.S. Lecce and later became one of the most decorated and influential players in the history of Juventus. He captained the team and won the UEFA Champions League, as well as 5 Serie A titles, among other honours. He also played for the Italian national team and was a participant at the 1994 FIFA World Cup and the 2000 UEFA European Championship, where, on both occasions, the Italians finished runners-up.
His managerial career started in 2006, leading Bari to the 2008–09 Serie B title, and Siena to promotion from the same division two years later. He then took over at Juventus in 2011, where he implemented a 3–5–2 formation and won three consecutive Serie A titles, before taking charge of the Italian national team in 2014 until the UEFA Euro 2016 campaign.
Conte began his career with the youth team of his hometown club U.S. Lecce and made his Serie A debut with the first team on 6 April 1986, aged 16, in a 1–1 draw against Pisa. Under the manager Carlo Mazzone, he became a fundamental player for the squad. In 1987 he fractured his tibia, running the risk of a career-ending injury. During the 1988–89 season, he was back in the pitch, however, and scored his first Serie A goal on 11 November 1989, in 3–2 loss to Napoli. He amassed a total of 99 appearances and one goal for Lecce.
