Antonio Conte’s future as Chelsea manager remains in doubt, as Chelsea are yet to come out and back the Italian ahead of next season, neither has the club confirmed the appointment of Maurizio Sarri who is ‘supposed’ to handle team next season, according to reports.
Despite the uncertainties, Conte and his coaching team were at Chelsea’s Cobham training ground over the weekend for the start of pre-season despite huge doubts over their futures at the club, although he wasn’t involved in the session.
However, Conte’s brother Daniele Conte, who is also a coach at Chelsea, took to Instagram to post a defiant picture of Conte and his eight-man coaching team at Cobham this weekend, all kitted out in the new season’s training gear.
Conte’s brother passed a message suggesting Antonio Conte will handle the team next season.
He wrote on Instagram: “Come on Chelsea! Come on Team Conte!!! Chelsea 2018/19.”
