The Blues are 18 points off the pace in the Premier League and the Italian boss now looks more likely than ever to be sent packing. The bookies are offering 1/2 about Conte being sacked before the opening day of next season - a record low for the Premier League winning manager.
Alex Apati of Ladbrokes said: "Things couldn't get much worse for Conte
and Chelsea right now, and for the first time in the Italian gaffer's
reign, he's odds-on to leave before the start of next season."
Meanwhile Joe Crilly of William Hill said: "Conte's future has been up in the air all season and as their title challenged has faded he has looked more and more disgruntle. We think it is a relatively short price that he will be gone before the end of the season."
