Chelsea star Oscar seems to like the club's new boss, Antonio Conte.

Premier League giants Chelsea have started their pre-season training under new boss Antonio Conte. The Italian took over from interim boss Guus Hiddink, who was hired temporarily to replace Jose Mourinho.

Conte is the immediate former manager of the Azzurri, who were bundled out of the European Championship by Germany in the quarter-finals. The 46-year-old conducted his first training with the Blues on Wednesday and Oscar seemed to like it.

Speaking to the club’s official website, the Brazilian forward said:

"I really liked it and I think the team are really going to improve a lot this season.''

He added:

"He’s very clear about what he wants from us. He spoke to everyone and it was very tactical with some good movements from the players."
