LONDON. — Chelsea have been rocked by reports claiming Juventus’ Massimiliano Allegri has agreed to replace Antonio Conte at the end of the season. Conte’s future at Chelsea remains uncertain despite the Italian managing to steer the Blues’ season back on track.

However, with the 48-year-old still seething at club owner Roman Abramovich’s reluctance to back him in the transfer market, a parting of the ways could be in the offing. Chelsea have made a habit of sacking managers despite their achievements, meaning last year’s Premier League title triumph may not be enough to keep Conte at Stamford Bridge.And Italian newspaper Corriere dello Sport say that Allegri, who succeeded Conte at Juventus, has agreed to do the same at Chelsea. — The Daily Express.
