Antonio Conte not happy with Chelsea

Reports in England suggest Antonio Conte has made it clear to Chelsea he still considers himself the Coach, despite their pursuit of Maurizio Sarri.

The former Italy CT made clear last season he was unhappy at Stamford Bridge, and it was expected he’d leave this summer.

The Blues have already identified Sarri as his replacement, but they’re yet to agree on a fee with Napoli, where he’s still under contract, and haven’t terminated Conte’s contract.

According to The Times, a member of Chelsea’s technical staff told the players to report for pre-season fitness tests this weekend.

Conte, however, made it clear that he doesn’t want the squad back together until Monday, and that he still very much considers himself the man in charge.

He will not resign from the position, which would leave the Premier League side having to pay off his contract in full, as well as those of all his staff.

Sarri is waiting in the wings to take over, but it appears Chelsea are no closer to resolving things with either Conte or Napoli.
