According to reports Conte is in the hunt for a new coach and his target is none other that Andrea Pirlo
This is according to ex-blue Ray Wilkins.
Ever since Steve Holland joined the England set-up last year Conte is said to be keen to replace him to help with the day to day runnings.
And former Blues coach Ray Wilkins has claimed the 47-year-old has set his sights on Italy legend Andrea Pirlo.
“Pirlo, the Italian, speaks English and he can come in tomorrow,” Wilkins told talkSPORT.
“I know for a fact he’s been around Stamford Bridge a few times this season.
“He’s the one I’m sure he wants to bring in – he managed him until he was 34 at Juventus.”
Pirlo heaped praise on his former boss last month in an interview with ESPN.
“Conte for me is the best coach,” Pirlo said..
“He is a genius. He works every day, every single moment for soccer, for the team, every small detail.”
