As the current manager, Antonio Conte is turning a lot of heads.His arrival was met with some apprehension. In his first

management gig for Serie B Arrezo, Conte got sacked only threemonths for lackluster results. Later he took a position at Juventus

and although he went on lead the club from Serie B to Serie Aand eventually to a Coppa Italia victory, he eventually resigned on

very bad terms with the Juventus hierarchy. But sense joiningChelsea, Conte has managed to accomplish a lot.

Carlo Ancelotti

After the departure of Guus Hiddink in2009, Carlo Ancelotti arrived needingto fill some very big shoes. In his first

season at Chelsea, Ancelotti managedto win the FA Cup for the club’s firstever Double-winning season. In thatsame season, Ancelotti lead Chelseain a victory of Manchester United for

the Premier League title. It’sunfortunate that his latter seasonsdidn’t live up to the amazing first

seasons he had (maybe it was theHiddink magic wearing off?), but his

leading the team to their first Double-winning seasons will not soon be

forgotten.via fourfortwo.com

Guus Hiddink

In 2009, Luiz Felipe Sclolari wasmanaging the team with very

underwhelming results. Hiddink signedon for only three months, but in thosethree months he managed to pull theteam from a bottom-rank position to

third place in the Premier League andthe FA Cup. In fact, the Blues lost onlyonce under Hiddink’s expert guidance.In 2015, the Blues were only 2 points

away from relegation when JoseMourinho was dismissed and Hiddink

was once again called back intoaction.

Roberto Di Matteo

When it comes to players turnedmanagers, no one sticks out quite likeRoberto Di Matteo does. As a player,Di Matteo helped helped the Blues to

excel between 1996 and 2000. Then in2001, Di Matteo sustained a fracture.

Though he hoped to join back in 2002,his injury thwarted his plans. He

retired, took some years off, and thenstarted doing some coaching for the

team, which then turned intomanaging for the Blues in 2012. Di

Matteo’s crowning achievement wasthat he landed landed the team both

the 2012 FA Cup and their firstChampions League trophy ever.

Jose Mourinho

Mourinho has a long history with theBlues. He first signed on for a four-year

contract in 2004. At the initial pressannouncement, Mourinho wowed

reporters and fans alike with his poisedconfidence (to contrast with the

abrasive confidence of Conte). In hisfirst season, he introduced new tactics

and managed to land the Blues theLeague Cup for first time in 50 years.

The team went onto win anotherLeague Cup, two league

championships, and one FA cup duringMourinho’s first stretch.

Jose Mourinho

Mourinho left the team in 2007 to thechagrin of many fans. In 2013, after

achieving a lot of success with Milanand Real Madrid, Mourinho returned tothe team for a fantastic season. Whenall is said and done, Mourinho endedup pulling in a whopping six trophies

for the club. I dare say that any successthat Conte has achieved and will

achieve with the team is thanks in largepart to the foundation that Mourinho

had established for the team.
