Chelsea Eye Conte Return After Pochettino Struggles
In a surprising turn of events, Chelsea are reportedly interested in bringing back Antonio Conte as manager. This comes amidst a tumultuous season under Mauricio Pochettino, where the Blues face missing out on European competition again despite heavy spending.
Italian outlet La Repubblica claims Chelsea are ready to rival Napoli and AC Milan for Conte’s signature. The 54-year-old led Chelsea to a Premier League title in 2017 but was sacked a year later.
However, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano throws cold water on these reports, stating Conte hasn’t approached Chelsea. While open to new opportunities, Romano suggests Napoli might be a more realistic option.
The situation remains unclear. Did Chelsea reach out to Conte, or is this mere speculation? Only time will tell if the Italian manager makes a sensational return to Stamford Bridge.
