Chelsea boss Antonio Conte has been heaping the praise on Luis Enrique – a man who has been heavily touted as the Italian’s replacement.
As quoted by the Evening Standard, the Blues boss was full of compliments for the Spaniard having been quizzed on his credentials in a recent interview.
Conte’s future is under immense scrutiny at the moment and a number of different successors have been linked. These include Carlo Ancelotti, Thomas Tuchel and, of course, Enrique himself.
Chelsea manager Conte was quick to laud Enrique’s ability, however, and insisted that the former Roma and Barcelona manager is a ‘fantastic coach’.
We played against each other and he’s a really good person. I have great admiration for Luis Enrique and he is a fantastic coach. He reached his targets with Barcelona, and also with Roma, you could see a well-organised team. I can speak about him very well, as a person and a coach.
Conte also addressed the claims that Enrique could be in line to take the reins at Stamford Bridge. He was calm and collected when discussing this prospect, though, and referred to how speculation is part and parcel of football.
We do this job, and our job is not ‘difficult’, but you must be open and understand the situation can change. A club can take different decisions. It’s the same for me. But, I repeat, I’m not jealous or envious of other managers. Everyone knows his job, his work. I have, usually, a great respect.
Enrique has been out of work since his dismissal from Barcelona at the end of last season.
