DEAL IMMINENT! CHELSEA CLOSING IN ON ANTONIO CONTE APPOINTMENT
The former Juventus boss’ agent is believed to have met Marina Granovskaia, Roman Abramovich’s ‘right hand woman’.
The first meeting between the two parties has been described as ‘very positive’, so much so Conte could put pen to paper on a three-year deal at Stamford Bridge before the week end and begin his new Chelsea job from next summer, after coaching senior Italy national team at EURO 2016.
After winning three consecutive Serie A titles as Juventus manager, Antonio Conte, 46, is ready to pick up the baton from José Mourinho and Guss Hiddink at Chelsea.
