Conte earns top EPL gong

ANTONIO Conte was named Manager of the Year at the League Managers Association awards yesterday after leading his side to the Premier League title and FA Cup final.

The 47-year-old Italian, whose team finished seven points clear of Tottenham, will lead Chelsea out against Arsenal in the Cup final at Wembley on Saturday. Chelsea’s 93 points was the second highest total since the Premier League began in 1992 and they were the first team to hit 30 victories in one season.
