Furious Chelsea coach Antonio Conte sent to the stands for outburst during Swansea clash

Furious Antonio Conte was banished to the stands for the first time in his Chelsea career on Wednesday evening.

The Blues boss vented his frustrated at the officials’ decision to award Swansea City a goal-kick when the Italian was convinced his team should have been given a corner.

Conte unleashed his anger at fourth official on the touchline shortly before the half-time whistle was blown and referee Neil Swarbrick gave the Chelsea chief his marching orders.

There was a brief moment of confusion when Conte trudged over to a seat behind the dugout before being ordered to vacate the area entirely.

Swarbrick determined that the Chelsea coach could still be heard giving instructions from his vantage point and instead was forced to take up a position behind the press box.

Conte is known for his cool persona in his media conferences but has an uncontrollable passion when leading his team into battle in matches.
