Antonio Conte: Chelsea still have the blues since Mourinho era

Antonio Conte believes Chelsea’s deterioration under Jose Mourinho still lingers in his players’ minds ahead of the self-proclaimed Special One’s return to Stamford Bridge with Manchester United.

Mourinho won his third Premier League title with Chelsea in May 2015 before his second spell came to an end seven months later, with the Blues perilously close to the relegation zone.

Since then, the Portuguese, who won two league titles in his first spell between June 2004 and September 2007, before returning in June 2013, has been appointed Manchester United manager.
