If things don't work out for Antonio Conte at Chelsea, he could always give X Factor or The Voice a try.

Conte burst into song for Standard Sport after being asked if he'd complied with Chelsea tradition and performed a ditty in front of rest of the group.

All new arrivals, be they management or players, have to sing a song after they join the club.

Conte did just that last Sunday in Minneapolis, standing on a chair in the middle of a room and belting out a Neapolitan favourite from back home called 'Malafemmena'.

But not content with that, he decided to serenade this journalist, as well as a few other members of the media in the room, and didn't miss a note!

Asked by Standard Sport whether his rendition in front of the Chelsea players went down well, he said: “I got a good reception, but I am the coach (he starts laughing, clapping his hands) they had to force it, no? I was satisfied with my performance!

“It's a good tradition, it's fantastic for me, my staff and the new players to sing a song. It's important to arrive at Chelsea and respect this tradition."

Conte also plans to respect the English ritual of having a glass of wine with the opposition manager after the game, although he says he will find it tough should Chelsea be beaten.

He added: “I like red wine. But I see this situation being a bit difficult if we lose, I have to be honest (he laughs).

Chelsea are prepared to pay as much as £67m to seal the Belgian’s return to Stamford Bridge, with Everton holding out for as much as £75m.



However, Standard Sport understands that Lukaku could yet submit a transfer request to force through the move. Chris Brunskill/Getty Images 3/13 Diego Lopez Chelsea have been looking at potential replacements for Asmir Begovic and held talks with Marseille keeper Steve Mandanda, only for him to opt for Crystal Palace because he was told he would be their No.1.



The Blues are now looking at the experienced Lopez, who made only nine appearances for AC Milan last term after losing his place to teenager Gianluigi Donnarumma.

But the club fear they will have to pay in excess of £50million to sign Kalidou Koulibaly from Napoli – and smash the British transfer record for a defender.

Despite snubbing a move away from the Nerazzurri and signing a new deal at Inter last summer, the former Chelsea target could be encouraged to come to England with the prospect of a salary increase especially as Inter are struggling to secure Champions League football for next season.

Only a big money move would tempt Juve to part with their prized asset and if Chelsea do not secure Champions League football for next season, a transfer for Pogba would prove difficult. 11/13 Edinson Cavani The Uruguay striker could be the experienced forward Conte is looking for, and will also be a viable option as PSG are thought to be ready to listen to offers for the 29-year-old.

“To be in this situation after a defeat is difficult, but I like this tradition. It's a part of the culture in England, it's different [to elsewhere].

"It's fantastic to stay with the other manager and staff, to be all together if you win or lose to drink wine.

“I knew about this situation back in Italy. I knew Sir Alex Ferguson invited managers to drink red wine and it was very unusual.

"But it's fantastic, I love this. I hope to take this up, it's important to open your mind if you lose a match, to stay together, to speak.

"But in Italy I can see this being very difficult to do after the game (laughs) because the culture is very different."
