With football postponed last weekend, Conte wore a hat to keep a low profile and headed across London with his brother Daniele to join the hundreds of thousands paying their respects.

He explained: “On Friday, I went to Buckingham Palace like a normal person, because I am a normal person! I did it with a hat to live this situation because I think, for sure, we will remember this for the rest of our lives.

“I want to give condolences from me, from the club, from the players to the royal family. Then football has to go ahead and we will do it, but I think the Premier League made an important decision to stop football and show respect for the death of the Queen.”
