Former Chelsea coach reactions react to sanction placed on the club

Former Chelsea and now Tottenham Hotspur manager Antonio Conte has reacted to the sanction imposed on the Blues by the UK government as a result of their ties with Roman Abramovich.

Conte, in a statement, said he felt sorry for Chelsea coach, Thomas Tuchel at a time like this.

Recall that assets belonging to Roman Abramovich were frozen by the UK government as he was also handed a travel ban.

All of this is attributed to the invasion of Ukraine by Russia.

Chelsea will still be allowed to play, having been given a special sporting licence, which allows football activities to continue.

Conte was at Chelsea for two years, where he won the Premier League title.

“Honestly, it’s a pity, also because I was coach in this club, in Chelsea, I enjoyed two seasons.

“Also, I won two titles, I worked in this club.

“It’s a pity to listen to this situation, it’s not simple for the players, it’s not simple for Thomas Tuchel, for the fans, for the whole environment, Chelsea environment,” Conte told a press conference today.
