Roman Abramovich has identified the successor of Antonio Conte

Roman Abramovich wants Mauricio Pochettino to replace Antonio Conte as Chelsea manager, according to the Metro. Conte’s future at Stamford Bridge remains unknown and beating Manchester United in the FA Cup final may not be enough to spare him from being sacked. The 48-year-old has followed up his title-winning season with a miserable second campaign in which the Blues finished outside of the Champions League places.
