LONDON. – Chelsea have begun negotiations with Luis Enrique as they look to replace Antonio Conte, according to stunning reports in Spain. Antonio Conte has been given a stay of execution and is expected to be in charge next Monday when Chelsea face West Brom.
But that could be his last game at the club with reports from Sport in Spain claiming talks with Luis Enrique are underway. Conte is refusing to resign and Express Sport understand that one of the reason he has not been sacked yet is due to a lack of options as caretaker manager.
It was thought Enrique wanted to wait until the summer, while Carlo Ancelotti is also taking time out. Thomas Tuchel has been linked with the job this morning, but now Sport claim Chelsea have opened talks with the former Barcelona boss.
Enrique has been the favourite to replace Conte since the summer when time began to tick on the Italian’s reign. Chelsea’s season is unravelling at an alarming pace and they are already 19 points behind leaders Manchester City. – The Daily Express.
