Maurizio Sarri is making changes around the Chelsea camp - and the players are absolutely delighted, following Antonio Conte's reign.
Conte's plight at Chelsea was unprecedented. For a man who took won the Premier League title with the side in his inaugural season, changing the way the Premier League plays football, to a largely unpopular figure at Stamford Bridge.

Under Conte, the Blues squad was reportedly largely unhappy. Despite winning the Premier League title the season before, the fiery Italian had big-named stars such as Willian, Eden Hazard and David Luiz - players who you would certainly want performing for your side.
But the players antics during this time have divided supporters and reporters.
But Sarri has come in, and, according to Telegraph, has changed some things around.

When Conte was boss, he asked that before matches the player had to stay together at the Chelsea Habour Hotel if the side had to play an evening game the following day.
But now players can stay where they please and they are no obligation to stay at a hotel together beforehand.
Conte had a big say in what the players ate at the canteen, but Sarri has loosened this rule, allowing players less restriction in what they choose to eat.

Indeed, while Conte appears to be the villain in this case, he's still unproven. It's all well and good changing stuff around but the follow-up has to be worth it.
