Former Chelsea manager Antonio Conte has reportedly expressed interest in returning to his former club, as per reports from Calcio Mercato. Conte, who previously managed the Blues between 2016 and 2018, is said to have made contact with Chelsea, aiming for a dramatic comeback to Stamford Bridge.
However, Chelsea’s attention seems divided, with rumors swirling around their interest in Bologna’s Thiago Motta. The Serie A manager has garnered praise for his work with Bologna, prompting Chelsea to consider him as a potential alternative to Conte.
Conte’s managerial journey has seen him taste success with clubs like Chelsea, Juventus, and Inter Milan. Despite his defensive tactics, Chelsea may be weighing Motta’s more progressive style as they contemplate their managerial options.
Mauricio Pochettino, Chelsea’s current boss, faces mounting pressure, and a pivotal match against Tottenham could potentially decide his fate at Stamford Bridge.
As speculation intensifies, Chelsea’s decision between Conte’s fiery return and Motta’s fresh approach remains uncertain, adding intrigue to the club’s managerial situation.
