"I didn't regret joining Chelsea because it was a great club, and I felt comfortable in that dressing room. John Terry was a great captain he gave us a calmness and reassured us we'd turn things around. But it was a contrast because I came from years of constant success, and at Chelsea I found myself in a situation where we struggled to get results."
"We were closer to the drop zone than the top of the table, and seeing Mourinho, who trusted me, get sacked was a harsh way to start my time there. Former Juventus and Italy boss Antonio Conte was handed the manager's job in the summer of 2016 and he quickly turned around the Blues' fortunes, leading them to the Premier League title in his first season."
"When Pedro joined Chelsea from Barcelona in 2015, he arrived with a medal haul that included just about everything there was to win in both La Liga and on the international front. His introduction to English football didn't quite go to plan though, as his new boss Jose Mourinho was gone before Christmas of the Spanish international's first season, following a run of nine defeats in 16 Premier League games."
Pedro moved from Barcelona to Chelsea in 2015 carrying a comprehensive medal haul and high expectations. His first season in England proved difficult as Jose Mourinho was sacked before Christmas after a run of poor results and Chelsea finished 10th with Guus Hiddink in interim charge. Pedro felt comfortable in the dressing room and praised John Terry's calming leadership. The contrast with sustained success at Barcelona made the early period challenging. Antonio Conte's appointment in summer 2016 brought a tactical change and immediate success, with Chelsea winning the Premier League in his first season.
