Conte is stepping down from his role as Italy manager after Euro 2016 and he has been widely linked with the vacancy at Stamford Bridge, with Guus Hiddink ready to leave in the summer after taking over from Jose Mourinho in December.Di Canio says he has spoken with Conte over the specific differences of managing in England, admitting the one person he would not want his former Juventus team-mate to copy is himself. I have spoken to him, not about Chelsea, but about English football. We had a chat about it, but not about Chelsea - two months ago, Di Canio told Sky Sports News HQ.He is a good guy and a good coach. He is a manager with the right mentality and work ethic and can help Chelsea change their direction.This year was incredible, if you think what Chelsea did last year. After three or four months it was clear the team didnt have the same mentality, energy and desire. Incredible. Di Canio thinks Conte could succeed in the Premier League and has spoken to him about English football This is the magic of football. One year you think Manchester City can win the league easily, or Arsenal, because City and Chelsea are out, and you see Leicester there. Fantastic this sport!Di Canios experiences in English management were mixed, with a successful spell at Swindon Town followed by a short-lived stint in charge of Sunderland.ddddddddddddBut he said he learned enough during those three years, as well as his time as a player with West Ham among other clubs, to know that communication and overcoming the language barrier will be key if Conte joins Chelsea. Di Canio was speaking after playing in Mark Nobles testimonial on Easter Monday I tell him: Be careful of the media, because if you start talking like me, they say, ah hes Italian, hes too theatrical, too much, hes screaming, Di Canio added after playing in Mondays testimonial for West Ham captain Mark Noble.I am joking! But I say be careful, try to learn the English mentality straight away. Sometimes words put into a sentence come out differently.Sometimes you can have the stamp of the donkey because you say something you didnt intend. So try to learn (the language) and put next to you a good guy, an English guy, with good experience that can help you...Its important to have a member of the club who understands everything of English football. Not only in the way you deliver your methodology or your tactics, but also in the way you need to deliver the words at the end of the game, before the game, the message during the week.Dont do it like Di Canio!
