Chelsea owner isn't even talking to Conte anymore

Chelsea owner isn't even talking to Conte anymore

Antonio Conte could be in big trouble at Chelsea, of Marca’s latest report is confirmed.

According to the Spanish Daily, owner Roman Abramovich isn't talking to the the former Juventus Coach, a pattern we have seen repeated time and time again with managers who have ended up getting sacked sooner rather than later.

Known for being trigger-happy, the Russian billionaire has already sacked the likes of Jose Mourinho, Luiz Felipe Scolari, Carlo Ancelotti and Roberto Di Matteo, the latter mere months after winning the Championship League.

The situation looks desperate for Conte, whose side is nine points behind Man City in the league and has just lost 3-0 to Roma in the CL.

Even worse, Marca add that Conte's problems with the squad don't end here, and that getting rid of Diego Costa may only have been the tip of the iceberg.

The Italian won the Premier League title with the Blues last season.
