Chelsea fans woke up this morning to find a strange rumour circulating in the English press. The reports claim that Antonio Conte is about to leave the Premier League champions.
'The Independent' claims that after being refused more control over transfers and in the wake of the 'Diego Costa affair' the working relationship between Roman Abramovic and Conte has become very strained, to the point that the Russian oligarch is considering a change in leadership.
The article goes on to claim that Conte is frustrated with the lack of movement from Chelsea with regard to new signings, despite the transfer window only officially opening a little over a week ago.
'The Independent' state that if Abramovich does decide to make a change, he will pursue ex-Barcelona boss Enrique. Though the Asturian made it clear that he wanted to take some time away from the game after leaving the Catalan giants.
