Chelsea Football Club is delighted to announce the appointment of Antonio Conte as First Team Head Coach.

Ed002 quick question. what is the difference between a head coach and a manager if there is any?
Thanks mate.
{Ed002's Note - Coaches need to be licensed to coach at the highest level (although there are three exceptions at EPL level). There is such requirements on managers who do not coach.}

Hi Ed, can you tell us if there is any further re-structuring expected at the club? There was talk of Walter Sabatini coming to the club, and a lot of rumour of Michael Emenalo's position being under threat - was there any truth in this or merely the press trying to find a bogeymay at the club?
{Ed002's Note - Sabatini is planning on heading elsewhere. There will be no immediate changes although, for reasons I won't go in to, there might be a change after the UEFA European Under-17 Championship is over.}

Does anyone know if Conte is a coach that looks to develop the youth?
Watching the under 21's we've got some cracking young players Clarke-Salter, Aina, Palmer to name a few.

He brought through pogba.

Unfortunately, Aina (a future England international) will be leaving in the summer when his contract terminates - another failure of our system of not promoting youth!

That's one to look at it. another may be a player (and/ or his agent advising him) having unreasonable expectations of playing time at a senior level.
