Antonio Conte Targeted By Two European Super Powers

Antonio Conte Targeted By Two European Super Powers

The Chelsea manager has a big reputation and two clubs want to make him their manager next summer.

Antonio Conte is one of the best managers in the world so it's no surprise that two of Europe's biggest clubs want to take him from Chelsea. Will the Italian leave in the summer though?

When Conte was managing Italy in the Euros in 2016 he was easily the best manager at the tournament. Whilst Didier Deschamps, for example, failed to get the best out of his unbelievable side the Italian was getting everything out of a poor Italy team

So success at Chelsea wasn't too surprising but winning the league in his first year, after the Blues finished 10th the season before, was somewhat surprising.

However Conte and his side's relationship has never been perfect with the former Juventus manager often left frustrated over the Blues' failure to sign the players he wants.

There has been talk that this year will be his last in England, whether that's his choice or Roman Abramovich sacks him a year after winning the league, and now, according to Sky Sport Italia, both PSG and Bayern Munich are being linked with bringing the 48 year-old in this summer.

Carlo Ancelotti was in charge of the Bundesliga champions at the beginning of this season but, ironically, a loss against PSG in the Champions League saw the end of his tenure in the Bundesliga.

The Italian had a poor start domestically and he was replaced by Jupp Heynckes as the man in charge but the 72 year old came out of retirement to take the role for the fourth time and it's unlikely he'll last past this season in the job.

That makes it the perfect chance to employ Conte, although the former midfielders downfall in management up to now has been how he's managed in the Champions League.

Emery finds his side running away with Ligue 1 once again but his big task will also be the Champions League. The former Sevilla manager found himself under pressure after losing the title to Monaco last year.

With Kylian Mbappe and Neymar in the side he is expected to challenge for the big European title so there's every chance the manager will find himself out on his ear.

Conte could be the man to fill either management vacancy.
