Antonio Conte will not be sacked by Roman Abramovich following the 4-1 aggregate loss to FC Barcelona but is set to leave Stamford Bridge in the summer, according to Goal.
Conte’s relationship with the Chelsea board has been more sour than sweet and has been well reported since the start of the season, with the Italian manager criticising the people in power at Chelsea due to transfer policies.
However, people at Chelsea believe he is criticising like this so that he can ensure securing another top-level job managing in football following the abysmal title defence this season.
The Blues currently sit fifth in the Premier League, four points behind fourth-placed Liverpool and five points behind London rivals Tottenham Hotspur in third place, who visit Stamford Bridge next matchday on April Fools Day.
Chelsea have been heavily linked with former Barcelona coach Luis Enrique, while Conte still says that he will try and see out his current contract in West London.
A club which is reportedly interested in Conte is Paris Saint-Germain, which is a club which the Italian is keen on apparently as the board will support him fully in the transfer market, with him falling out with his board at Chelsea and Juventus over transfers.
So Conte will be in London until the end of the season at least, but it is yet to be seen what happens to him after that.
