“
“First of all, it’s important to say thanks to Obi for this period he worked with me, ” Conte told chelseafc.com.“He showed always a great attitude and great behaviour with me and I wish him and his family the best.
“Obi played many years with this club, he won a lot with this club and he was a really important player, but I think there are moments you want to change, to find a new experience, and for this reason I wish for him the best.”
