jose mourinho was sacked after a celtic defence of the title, the clu b celtic defence of the title, the club finishing tenth. —— after a chaotic defence. chelsea hired conte but had to wait until after the euros. there were one or two big signings, antonio conte, the player of the year, but the new coach has largely transformed an underperforming squad. it's not easy to adapt new methods and new philosophies, and also to work very hard, to change totally your work. if you compare the work of the season and the past. and there could yet be more success. conte is also guided chelsea to the fa cup final. other managers may have grabbed more headlines and created more controversy, but the italian has eclipsed them all. at the start of the season, all the talk was about pep guardiola against jose mourinho, the two big

jose mourinho has made it pretty clear he has another prize in mind.is this manager is the most important in the club's history. it iszisa bit ofan important in the club's history. it is z is a bit of an exaggeration but it is the most important of the season it is the most important of the season because winning the europe league is now their best chance of qualifying for next season's champions league. they could yet qualified by finishing in the top four of the premier league, of course, but that looks increasingly distant. they are now down to sixth lace after that defeat by arsenal at the weekend. —— place. winning the europa league is very much the top priority. they are in a great position after the first leg but they know how high the sta kes a re. leg but they know how high the stakes are. if we don't qualify for the champions league, it is because we are not good enough to play champions league. i try to look at it in champions league. i try to look at itina champions league. i try to look at it in a pragmatic way. obviously, for the prestige

he has had a bad season in the premier league but mourinho will not mind, he has got the europa leagueet. stay with us, we will be reporting from taiwan because this is how people reacted when the top judges in taiwan decided gay marriage must become legal. more details have emerged about the victims of monday's consort attack including two 14—year—old girls. of the 64 people injured, 20 domain in critical condition, another who died was a 29—year—old pr manager from stockport, martyn hett. earlier today his cousin and aunt took flowers to albert square and we ask them how they were doing. we were holding out hope that he had lost his phone or ended up somewhere, we we re his phone or ended up somewhere, we were reading comments about how brilliant people in manchester had been and held onto that, that we would find him somewhere and he was going to wonder what all the fuss was about. sadly we got confirmation late last night that that wasn't the case. none of us knew him, but from the pictures, what we have heard, he was a real character. a proper character, unique. very characterful.

mourinho says that he is so proud of how his players managed to block out all the emotion and just doutes. he admitted that was why they cancelled their pre—match news conference, knowing that it would naturally be dominated and injured so many on monday. paul pogba and henrik mikhtaryan were the goalscorers on the night at the friends arena. .the victory also carried champions league qualification next season...but afterwards all thoughts turned to the tragedy...jose mourinho said he would gladly give up the cup if it could bring back those 22 lives. upon their return manchester united, together with manchester city have pledged £1 million between them to the we love manchester emergency fund in partnership with the british red cross. the fund has been established to help the families of the victims of the terror attack. let's hear now from some of the players and supporters after last night's match. it meant a lot for the club, for alice but especially for the town, the city of manchester stadium we we re the city of manchester stadium we were really, really sad about what happened,

they are preparing to take on ajax tonight and jose mourinho says the hearts and jose mourinho says theone at the club are are with those affected. andy swiss joins us from stoke home. tonight promises to be a poignant occasion? yes, the atmosphere here is more subdued than normal. the manchester united players held a minute's silence before training in manchester yesterday. they were due to hold a press conference when they arrived out here in stockholm last night, but that was cancelled in the light of the events in manchester and jose mourinho issued a statement saying we cannot take out of our minds and our hearts the venus williams and their families. it is a pity we cannot fly with the happiness that we always have before a big game. now, the manchester united fans are also starting to arrive out here. obviously, we are expecting around 10,000 manchester united fans at their end and others will be in neutral parts of the stadium and understandably they are all utterly shocked by what happened. i spoke to several fans yesterday who knew of people who had been inside the manchester

. what this means to the players and the jose mourinho.ers and thejose mourinho. it makes them the most decorated club in europe and jose mourinho made a managerial history. you could see him running onto the pitch and celebrating. afterwards he said the team had been deeply affected by the events in manchester this week. we just come to do ourjob. we had the happiness we should bring with us. when you go to these big matches, you go proud. we didn't, we just come to do our job. the boys were fantastic because they block, they put a wall in front of their eyes and they stay isolated from everything and we focused on the match. which we played really well. this puts manchester united back where they want to be, back in the champions league. but perhaps last night was notjust the champions league. but perhaps last night was not just about football, of course. how weather fa ns football, of course. how weather fans reacting? you could tell the fa ns were fans reacting? you could tell the fans were subdued at the beginning of the night. they w

at the start of the season, all the talk was about pep guardiola and jose mourinho. prevailed with two games to spare and at the first of asking. this is not a leicester city style miracle, of course. chelsea are one of the wealthiest clubs in the world. having said that, given last season, this represents a highly impressive turnaround in fortunes. the centres with this manager in charge, this could be a double winning season, and of course, next year, they can challenge for the champions league again, as well. the international art festival, the venice biennale, opens tomorrow and some artists have decided to challenge the usual practice of countries having their own national pavilions to showcase their art. this year there are pavilions for imaginary countries complete with their own unusual form of passport control. to explain, here's our arts editor, will gompertz. the whole point of the venice biennale is for countries across the world to have their own national pavilion in which to proudly present the work of one of their artists. but the notion of art belongi
