Chelsea technical director Michael Emenalo claimed this week: "Choosing Conte was easier than the process of getting to him.
"He has brought to us not only world-class tactical knowledge but also the ability of how to approach a game.
"The players love him, and so do we. There's a possibility that he'll stay with us forever, we hope so at least. He's very, very good."
And Conte has responded to Emenalo's comments today, thanking the director for his kind words and admitting he wants to stay at the club for the foreseeable future.
"A few months ago a betting company said someone wants sack me," Conte said.
"I'm at a great club and want to stay."
