Antonio Conte: 'We will fight against speculation about my Chelsea future'

Chelsea manager Antonio Conte has claimed that he and his players will 'fight against the speculation' regarding his future.

The Italian coach has been at the centre of rumours that his job at Stamford Bridge is in danger following recent back-to-back defeats in the Premier League.

However, the pressure was lifted on Monday night when the team earned a 3-0 victory over West Bromwich Albion at Stamford Bridge.

After the final whistle, Conte was asked by Sky Sports News about the rumours over his future.

"We are getting used with the speculation," he said. "My players know very well what our work is and what we have to do. For sure we are going to try to fight against this speculation.

"There is only one way, to win and play good football. I think until the end we continue to live with this speculation. For me it is not important."

Chelsea sit fourth in the league table, three points adrift of second-placed Manchester United.
