Antonio Conte addresses Chelsea exit talk with honest reply after FA Cup win over Man Utd

Conte steered Chelsea to victory in the FA Cup final today as they .

It is thought this could have been Conte’s final game with Chelsea after a fraught season on and off the pitch.

Disagreements over transfers means the campaign got off on the wrong foot and Chelsea’s title defence never materialised.

And Conte said in his post-match press conference that he remains content at Stamford Bridge.

However, the Italian also conceded his future could lie elsewhere.

“I have a contract and I’m committed for this club,” he said defiantly.

“I think from the start of this season, because don’t forget the speculation started after our first defeat against Burnley, my position was always the same: I’m committed for this club, despite a lot of speculation.

“One day I had the possibility to go to the national team, one day this team, one day another important team.

“In every press conference I always say I’m committed to this club, to respect my contract. As you know very well our job is not simple. I understand that the club can make a decision, a positive decision, a negative decision.

“I’m the first to understand. I’m the coach of a great, important club, in England and the world. It’s right that the club demands of me a lot.

“I think you have to understand if in this season we had the maximum or not. There is also this possibility with this group of players we did the maximum. I have great respect for my club.

“For sure we’ll make the best decision. I’m the first to accept every decision for the future.

“After these two seasons I will always love this colour, these fans, this club. Also if my future must be in a different way.”

The FA Cup win makes amends for last season’s defeat at Wembley when were downed by Arsenal.

It means Conte takes his Blues trophy hoard to two in two seasons.

He joined the west London club back in the summer of 2016 after an impressive stint with Italy at the European Championships.

Conte also boasts titles at Juventus and spoke about his latest triumph.

“When you are used to winning every season – don’t forget I was used to winning every season – this type of season can try to create some problems in yourself,” he said.

“When you have this type of season there are moments that you have a lot of questions for yourself.

“But I think, also in this season, in a difficult season like this, I showed I’m a serial winner. This is the truth.

“To win in this way this season give me more satisfaction than my wins in the past.”

Mourinho misery

Chelsea won the final thanks to Eden Hazard’s penalty after the Belgian was felled in the box by Phil Jones.

After the game, Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho hit out at the Blues and claimed his side deserved to win.

“I think our team did a fantastic defensive job without defending. We controlled positions, transitions really well,” he said.

“They only played long balls to Giroud to flick. When you play against a team so predictable it’s quite easy to adapt to it.

“I thought we wouldn’t concede any goal in this match. But of course Hazard is a very good player and he created a penalty.”
