Palpable Discord: Antonio Conte & Roman Abramovich No Longer on Speaking Terms Amid Reported Crisis

Antonio Conte's relationship with Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich has reached an all-time low, with the pair reportedly having ceased all direct communication.

The Blues looked to be ready for a neat run of wins after victories over Watford, Everton and Bournemouth in recent weeks, but a shock 3-0 defeat at the hands of AS Roma has sent them crashing back to earth, leading many to suggest that there is an ongoing crisis at the club.

According to Marca, Conte will not be in charge at Chelsea next season - if he does survive this one - despite taking the Londoners from one of their lowest points in recent history to the summit of the Premier League in the space of one season.
