'The players will LOVE him': John Terry begrudgingly praises Tottenham's appointment of his old boss Antonio Conte... but the Chelsea legend warns Harry Kane to 'be ready to go to work'

Chelsea legend John Terry has hailed Tottenham's managerial appointment of Antonio Conte, describing their bitter rivals' move as a 'what a signing' - one that everyone at the club will 'love'.

On Tuesday, Tottenham announced that Conte was their new boss - penning a deal until the end of next season, with the option of an extra year, following Monday's dismissal of predecessor Nuno Espirto Santo.

Conte has a world-class pedigree winning six major honours as a manager to date - including five league titles across spells Juventus, Chelsea and Inter Milan.
