Antonio Conte linked with sensational return to Chelsea
As pressure builds on Mauricio Pochettino’s stay at Chelsea, speculations have surfaced linking former Blues manager Antonio Conte with a dazzling return to Stamford Bridge. Following a number of poor performances that left fans dissatisfied speculation about Pochettino’s future has increased.
After reaching the FA Cup semi-finals, rage among fans has grown, raised by the recent Carabao Cup final loss to Liverpool. With only one year left on his contract, it’s uncertain whether Pochettino will take the team into the next season, with European qualification likely to influence the club’s decision.
Numerous opportunities have been proposed to succeed the Argentine, including Jose Mourinho and Roberto De Zerbi. However, Conte has emerged as a surprising contender, having previously won both the Premier League and the FA Cup during his two-season spell at Chelsea.
Conte’s potential return to the Premier League after his dramatic exit from Tottenham Hotspur last year. After achieving additional success in Italy with Inter Milan, the Italian tactician might be poised for a dramatic reunion with Chelsea.
While discussions remain conceptual, sources from Canale 8 via Sport Witness assert that Conte’s return to Cobham may be on the cards, causing enthusiasm among Chelsea fans who recall his prior wins at the helm.
Journalist Massimo Ugolini has now claimed that the 54-year-old’s return would be welcomed back with great enthusiasm at Chelsea. “He could even return to Chelsea,” he told Canale 8.
“He would be welcomed back with great enthusiasm. Watch out for Juventus too. In this spending-review phase, it’s not as if they couldn’t afford him.”
As the managerial carousel continues to spin, all eyes are fixed on Stamford Bridge for any new developments in this story.
