The 46-year-old, who steered Italy to a quarter-final place at the European Championships in France this summer, will then have to lead Chelsea through further pre-season games against RZ Pellets, Liverpool, Real Madrid and AC Milan.

The Blues kick-start the new campaign with a tricky home game against London rivals West Ham, which Conte will hope he can win to avoid seeing Chelsea suffer a poor start to the season, which proved to be Jose Mourinho's downfall last term.
