Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich wants one thing only, silverware. The tycoon is infamous for switching managers at whim when titles are not added to The Blues’ trophy cabinet.
Antonio Conte though, knows a thing or two about delivering.
Three trophies in as many years with Juventus and Conte made it a fourth successive league title when Chelsea won the Premier League on Friday night with a 1-0 result at West Brom.
As expected, celebrations followed late into the night. And also, into the manager’s post-match press conference. Watch video for more.
Conte is the club's fifth and most charismatic Italian manager. If you asked for the defining image of their season it would surely be of the controller on the sidelines - fists clenched, mouth wide open, knees bent and body taut with emotion - joyously celebrating one of their 76 goals that sealed a sixth top-tier English title.
Conte galvanised a club still so traumatised by the painful departure of manager Jose Mourinho that they had forgotten their previous role as serial trophy gatherers under Abramovich.
Although this year's champions will not match the 95 points accumulated by Mourinho's 2004-05 title-winners, they need a point to beat the 87 achieved by the Mourinho mark II side of 2014-15, the last time Chelsea topped the Premier League.
As an achievement, however, Conte's ranks as one of the finest of the Abramovich era because this title was so unexpected. Out of the blue, in fact.
When the season began, most critics assumed that the best team in Manchester would prove England's finest and, by the end of September, little had happened to change that view.
Chelsea's 3-0 loss at Arsenal left Conte's side eight points adrift of the early leaders, Pep Guardiola's Manchester City.
Defeat at The Emirates saw Conte pull off what many said was a masterstroke by switching to the 3-4-3 formation which laid the foundations for the title success.
But, amid all the talk of tactical tweaking, it is easy to forget how easy it is to get these experiments wrong.
A back three only works with hard-running midfielders, flying wing-backs and an error-free central defence. So Conte's achievement was really to spot what was possible with the players he had.
The transformation was remarkable. Nemanja Matic, whose career had been floundering, was instantly revived as N'golo Kante's foil in midfield, outcast Victor Moses called up to take on new defensive duties as a wing back and multiple flapper David Luiz recast as Mr Dependable at the heart of the defence.
Their team mates believed they could make the system work, with player-of-the-season Kante doing the dirty work and Eden Hazard enjoying his freedom to roam and score vital goals as Chelsea embarked on a 13-game winning streak that transformed them into title winners.
