Luis Enrique to succeed Conte at Chelsea? Iniesta backs claims of former Barcelona boss

The Blues continue to see their current coach linked with a summer exit, with a former favourite at Camp Nou being tipped to arrive at Stamford Bridge

Amid strong links to Chelsea, Luis Enrique has been backed by Barcelona’s Andres Iniesta to be a success in England if he succeeds Antonio Conte.

The current man at the Stamford Bridge helm continues to see his position called into question, with suggestions that a summer change is on the cards.

Chelsea have struggled to replicate their heroics from 2016-17 when they swept to the Premier League title.

If a change in the dugout is to be made, then Iniesta – who is readying himself for a Champions League clash with the Blues on Tuesday – believes his former boss at Camp Nou would be an ideal appointment.
