The big-hearted manager phoned the owner of one of his favourite restaurants and persuaded him to stay open until they arrived back from beating West Brom
ANTONIO CONTE took his Chelsea coaching staff out for a slap-up Italian meal until 7am in London – just hours after sealing the Premier League title.
The amazing picture shows Conte and his staff at Gola restaurant in Fulham, having only arrived there at 2am after getting back from West Brom last Friday night.
Gola’s owner confirmed to Sun Sport that while he usually closes the west London eatery at 11pm, he kept it open especially for the arrival of his friend Conte to let their hair down.

The Blues’ boss phoned the restaurant after leaving the pitch to ask if they would keep it open for him and his backroom staff. They then arrived 2am after the two-and-half drive back from the Midlands and partied for FIVE hours before leaving at 7am.
Chelsea won the title at the Hawthorns thanks to Michy Batshuayi’s late goal which saw him win his first top flight trophy in his debut season in England.
The game finished around 9.30pm, and the Italian boss was then drenched in champagne while wearing a suit by his joyous players.
Once they left the ground, the team coach would have driven the 130 mile trip back to the capital.
