Conte On The Brink At The Bridge

Bookmakers Suspend Betting On Conte Getting The Sack With Abramovich Ready To Pull The Trigger

After another abysmal night for Chelsea, Antonio Conte was a short as 1/6 in the Premier League sack race market before the bookies decided to suspend betting.


Before the market was pulled, it was only a 1/4 shot that Conte's axed before the crucial Champions League game against Barcelona.


Jessica Bridge of Ladbrokes said: "Conte's a dead man walking, and it's surely a case of when, and not if, Abramovich says arrivederci."

Luis Enrique is the hot favourite with Ladbrokes to replace Antonio Conte as Chelsea boss.

The former Barcelona gaffer leads the bookies' betting market at 2/1, as the pressure mounts on Conte following his bizarre decision to rest his players over the next three days.

Carlo Ancelotti (3/1) and Guus Hiddink (4/1) find themselves next in the betting for another stint at the Bridge, or it's a 7/1 chance Diego Simeone steps into Premier League management.

Jessica Bridge of Ladbrokes said: "We've already suspended betting on Conte leaving, and although the market is wide open at present, punters' early money points towards Enrique's services being required in SW London imminently."
