Conte loses first game in charge of Chelsea

Antonio Conte began his Chelsea reign, with a 2-0 loss to Rapid Vienna, in a pre-season friendly played on Saturday.
The Italian tactician was appointed as the full-time successor to Jose Mourinho who was sacked in December, but only took charge after the 2016 European Championship.

Chelsea were without key first-team players for the game, because of their involvement at Euro 2016.

Goals in either half from Joelinton and Tomi Correa, ensured Rapid celebrated the opening of their new Allianz Stadion in style.
