Chelsea boss Antonio Conte is determined to ensure his Premier League champions do not suffer another “Mourinho season” and slump from first place to 10th.
The Blues won the title in 2014/15 under Portuguese coach Jose Mourinho – now in charge of Manchester United – when he returned to Stamford Bridge for a second spell as manager.
However, Chelsea picked up just 11 points from their first 12 league games the following season and Mourinho departed in December, with the London club finishing in mid-table under Guus Hiddink.
