We all knew it was coming and Chelsea made it official as the club sacked Antonio Conte and released an update on the website and Twitter.

What was a little curious about the release was that it was short and cut without any “thanking” of the manager as the Italian did win the Premier League and the FA Cup with us in his two years.
However, the failure to reach the top-four last season and also tensions with the board seemed to be his undoing. That and the Diego Costa transfer saga didn’t help his cause as he looked to continue at the club.
The Chelsea fans were divided regarding the move to remove Conte from the setup. Some were in support of the management as they believed Conte didn’t do well in the final season while others believed we should not have made such a move.
Here are some of their reactions to Conte leaving the side as Twitter was flooded by messages from Chelsea fans.

This guy deliberately sabotaged Chelsea’s season and cost the club a top 4 place
This guy cost the club millions over the Costa saga
This guy lost the dressing room and top plyaers would’ve left if he stayed

As a #CFC fan, I want to personally thank Antonio Conte on what he has done at Chelsea. Winning @premierleague & @EmiratesFACup are great achievements.@ChelseaFC were rock bottom when he took over. For that, I’m truly grateful.
He left CFC better than he met them.#ForzaConte 👊 pic.twitter.com/7rwQhztF3l— Red Rose 💎 (@Roseangel009) July 13, 2018

THAT’S all you can graciously summon? Curt, dismissive & contemptible…what standards have we become?
