Despite Conte's differences with the Chelsea board over the past couple of months, it's hard to believe that the Italian would be replaced by Roman Abramovich just two games into the Premier League season, especially considering the champions are just coming off an impressive away victory against Tottenham, last week. Not to mention the former Juventus and Italy boss is especially well liked by his players, as could be seen by their celebrations at the final whistle of Sunday's victory over Spurs.
