Antonio Conte Reportedly Facing Sack If Chelsea Lose to Watford on Monday

Chelsea manager Antonio Conte will reportedly be axed by the club should the Blues lose at Watford on Monday in the Premier League.

According to Neil Fissler of the Sunday Express, the Chelsea board are close to losing patience with the Italian coach after "a combination of poor results and a rift with owner Roman Abramovich over who makes signings has left him on the brink."

Fissler added that Conte will not be at the club next season, despite his current deal running until the summer of 2019.
