The Sunday Express reports that Chelsea's Russian owner Roman Abramovich is considering replacing current coach Antonio Conte with his compatriot Carlo Ancelotti who managed the Blues in 2010 leading them to their first ever Premier League and FA Cup double win.

According to the report, Ancelotti who was sacked by Bayern Munich a few weeks back, is the favorite to replace Conte thus repeating José Mourinho's feat of being rehired as Chelsea coach a few years after being sacked.

Furthermore, Sunday Express reports that should Chelsea not be interested in bringing Ancelotti back, the Italian's services are very sought after by Everton, West Ham as well as managerless Leicester City.

The former Real Madrid and AC Milan manager has won the Champions League three times and the FIFA Club World Cup title twice during a career that has seen him win a title at almost every club that he has managed.
