Despite Chelsea's FA Cup triumph, Antonio Conte's departure still looks likely. Blues striker Olivier Giroud admitted he'd be sad to see the Italian go.

"It will be sad if the manager will leave," Giroud told 'Sky Sports News.'

"We need to move on - I have got a World Cup and then I will think about next year. I want to win some more trophies with Chelsea."

The Frenchman signed an 18-month contract with the Blues in January and has got off to a flying start. Giroud already has five Chelsea goals under his belt and has proven instrumental in a number of others. 

After the FA Cup win, Conte reiterated his dedication to Chelsea: "I have a contract and I have committed to this club. My position was always the same. I committed despite the speculation about my future."

Only time will tell whether the board decide to give the Italian another chance or not. Unfortunately for him, all signs seem to be pointing to the exit door.
