According to Spanish newspaper Marca, Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich has now decided to sack head coach Antonio Conte.
The outrageous report claims The Blues are reportedly not happy with results and seek to line up a suitable successor.
Conte’s relationship with Abramovich and the Stamford Bridge hierarchy is reported to be on the edge, with very little dialogue between the coach and owner.
Roman has already decided that the Italian will not serve the third season of his three-year contract last season, but more poor results like the 3-0 drubbing to Roma in midweek could accelerate his exit.
The report uses Abramovich’s sacking of Roberto Di Matteo months after he won the Blues their long-awaited Champions League title as reference, which makes this claim even more ridiculous.
The report goes onto say the former Italy and Juventus boss has had a fractious relationship with the board since the summer. He was said to be unhappy with the level of support he got during the transfer window.
It’s a pretty bold claim from Marca, I guess we’ll just have to wait and see.
