Antonio Conte not interested in keeping Cesc Fabregas happy amid transfer rumours as his job is to keep winning

Fabregas has started just 10 Premier League games this season but Conte says he doesn't want to hear about unhappy players when Chelsea are battling for the double

Antonio Conte does not think that he is in the business of keeping his players happy. The
Chelsea manager, on the verge of a remarkable double in his first season at Stamford Bridge, said that he does not worry whether his players are happy or not, only whether they are winning.
Speaking at his press conference at Cobham on Friday afternoon, Conte was asked whether he could keep Cesc Fabregas happy as an occasional starter in his team. Fabregas, formerly of Arsenal and Barcelona, has only started 10 of Chelsea’s Premier League games so far this season.
But Conte insisted that his job was not to make sure that his players are happy with how much football they are playing. His job is to keep Chelsea winning, and that is certainly going well for now.
