Chelsea goalkeeper Asmir Begovic has told Football Italia he has already been impressed by the incoming manager Antonio Conte, as the Italian is set to take over at the Blues after this summer’s Euro 2016.
The current Azzurri coach has already become familiar with his future club after visiting Cobham training ground and holding intensive private talks with some of the team’s players.
The Bosnia and Herzegovina international was pleased on how things have progressed with the manager, and says the future seems bright for the West London side.
He seems like a good man – his managerial skills, he is one of the world’s best. He spoke in English. The chat we had was good English,” Begovic told The Mirror newspaper.
With the club and everything going forward it is a big summer. We need to recharge for next season.
We have goalkeeper Marco Amelia at Chelsea, who knows him and he says he is a hard worker with discipline and structure.
Despite the goalkeeper has been linked with a move away from the club, he denies to be considering a transfer at this time, and is hopeful of helping the team out to regain their place in the Europe’s elite competition.
It will be an interesting summer. I am not thinking about moving on. When the new manager comes then I hope decisions will be made and then we can go from there.
The Champions League is very important. That’s one of the reasons I came here. Our goal has to be to get back into a completion where we belong.
I came here to help be part of a successful team and win trophies. That’s what I want to do and we will see what the new manager brings and the decisions he makes.
