Football transfer rumours: Carlo Ancelotti or Luis Enrique to Chelsea?
Today’s tell-all is wholeheartedly in favour of a winter break
At the time of writing, Chelsea’s official website leads with a quotes piece from Antonio Conte’s press conference in the wake of his side’s demolition at the hands of Watford and only time will tell if that particular news item will be replaced with one of those statements announcing the football club wishes to “make clear Antonio leaves us on good terms and will always remain a much-loved, respected and significant figure at Chelsea”.
Yesterday’s Rumour Mill hinted that Roman Abramovich has already lined up Napoli’s Maurizio Sarri as Conte’s successor, but with the Partenopei currently top of Serie A, one suspects that any replacement for Conte, who may very well be parading up and down outside Stamford Bridge ringing a bell and wearing a “PLEASE SACK ME!” sandwich board, would be an interim fix. Carlo Ancelotti or Luis Enrique are the favourites to step into the breach, while the Italian FA is hopeful Conte will leave Chelsea and take over a national team still reeling with embarrassment from their failure to qualify for the World Cup.
