As the dreaded international break approaches its conclusion, yet more speculation relating to the future of Antonio Conte has surfaced.

Lurking in the pages of the popular tabloid publication this country produces, The Sun, is the insinuation that Antonio Conte will not be the manager of Chelsea Football Club next season.

Our referenced source is suggesting that Antonio could be set to make a dramatic return to his homeland to take over, for a second time, the Italian national team.

The foundations for this inference are based on the fact that the Italian`s have had something of a stuttering campaign which has seen them finish in a group runners-up spot, behind Spain, thereby needing to enter the play-off`s to stand a chance of participating in the 2018 World Cup, in Russia.

Now, here at Vital Chelsea, we`re not sure what exactly is going to happen come the summer but in my role as the editor of this site I couldn`t help but notice this fantastic post by a regular visitor to the site, Michael Reid, who posted yesterday, with regard to the future of Conte:

“Luciano Moggi is one of Conte’s best friends, he bought Conte to Juventus, he also was the first to leak the Conte to Chelsea story in early 2016 . He now claims Conte will be back in Italy next season. Of all the Conte stories and rumors, Moggi is the closest source to the man himself. Moggi claims Conte has already met his next employers and verbally agreed terms. As much as I have been sceptical about all these stories in the media, this is actually a person close to the man himself, who also was the first to leak the story of AC joining us.”

Definitely food for thought!
