Hiddink confident Conte can deal with Chelsea pressure   By Nicholas McGee 0 Antonio Conte has the tools to cope with the pressure of taking Chelsea forward after a disappointing season, says Guus Hiddink. Guus Hiddink believes Antonio Conte is well equipped to deal with the pressure of turning Chelsea's fortunes around next season.

Hiddink said in his pre-match media conference ahead of Saturday's trip to Swa...
