Chelsea preparing to fire coach Conte?

Although Chelsea's board of directors has not given any official information about coach Conte's future at Stamford Bridge, the possibility of the Italian strategist leaving the West London team is clear as day.

The important issue is when coach Conte will pack his bags and leave Chelsea. With what has been happening at Stamford Bridge recently, the prospect of the former captain of the Italian national team following in the footsteps of coach Mourinho is very clear.

The humiliating 0-3 defeat to weak opponent Bournemouth in round 25 of the Premier League that took place a few days ago not only put Chelsea at risk of being knocked out of the TOP 4, but also made coach Conte's seat shake violently.

Currently, The Blues have almost no chance of successfully defending the championship title won last season (losing 18 points to the leading team Man City). The immediate goal of coach Conte and his team in the Premier League is to win a position in the TOP 4.

This is not an easy task for the team at Stamford Bridge. Currently, Chelsea is temporarily in 4th place on the rankings, 3 points behind the team in 2nd place, Man Utd, and only 2 points ahead of the team in 5th place, Tottenham.

If The Blues suffer unfavorable results in the next few matches, they will be completely knocked out of the top 4 teams. Thus, the possibility of Coach Conte being fired by Chelsea's board of directors is extremely high - similar to the situation of Coach Mourinho, Scolari... before.

In the past, Chelsea's board of directors has often "changed horses midstream" when the team's performance has declined. Since billionaire Abramovich took over the West London team (in 2003), there have been 4 coaches fired during the season: Mourinho (twice), Scolari, Villas Boas, Di Matteo.

It is worth mentioning that in all 4 times of changing coaches, Chelsea achieved very impressive results (Coach Avram Grant replaced Coach Mourinho and helped Chelsea win the 2007/2008 Champions League runner-up position; Coach Di Matteo replaced Coach Villas Boas and helped Chelsea win the 2011/2012 Champions League...).

With the habit of “changing horses in midstream” and the increasingly escalating conflicts between Chelsea’s leadership and coach Conte, it is very likely that the farewell will happen sooner than expected. Therefore, the match against Watford in round 26 is likely to be the last time coach Conte leads Chelsea, if the team at Stamford Bridge does not win all 3 points.

Time is counting down for Coach Conte, especially when Chelsea's board of directors is promoting plans to bring Coach Luis Enrique to Stamford Bridge./.
