Jobless Antonio Conte tries luck with Volleyball

Antonio Conte has taken the opportunity to kick back and relax following his recent sacking as manager of Chelsea.

The 48-year-old has been seen for the first time since being relieved of his duties and being told he no longer needed to report in to take training.

Chelsea ushered Premier League title winner Conte out of the door while facilitating the arrival of Maurizio Sarri from Napoli.

Despite initially reporting for pre-season and taking command of training sessions while his job situation at Chelsea was attended to, Conte has now headed off to warmer climbs for a much needed re-charge.

The Italian and his family returned to their homeland, where they have been relaxing on the exotic beaches of the Italian Riviera.

Conte was seen getting stuck into a game of volleyball.

With the start of the 2018/19 season fast approaching, Conte remains without a club to coach.

Offers are likely to be plentiful for the 48-year-old, who followed up his title-winning debut season with FA Cup glory in his second campaign.
