The one between Antonio Conte and Chelsea it is a marriage that has to be done. In England they are increasingly sure of it, and also in Italy, beyond the tight-lipped mouths of the Federation, there seem not to be too many doubts about the fact that the former Juventus coach will leave the Italian national team immediately after the European Championships.
According to the English tabloids, Conte thus beat the competition from Allegri, Simeone and Sampaoli for the bench occupied by Guus Hiddink, who replaced Josè Mourinho during the current season. A three-year contract worth 6 million euros per season would already be ready for him.
For Conte, too much a man of the pitch and too full of his career to coach the national team for a long time, with whom love has only partially blossomed, it would be a matter of returning to a situation, beyond the level of the London squad, similar to the one he found upon his landing in Turin: a team probably out of the Cups, and back from a season that undermined all certainties.
Furthermore, according to the English newspapers, Conte would already have his shopping list ready, a list that inevitably leads to the Italian championship: in addition to Pogba, which however risks remaining above all a fantasy, the Belgian would be in the crosshairs of the national coach Radja Nainggolan, midfielder of Roma, and the center forward of Inter Mauro Icardi.
Nothing definitive, in any case, and nothing certain or, least of all, official, but the current coach of the national team seems ever closer to landing in the Premier League.
