I'd be very surprised if he doesn't end up coming at this stage..

by Kick Tue 15 Mar 2016, 00:24

So would I.

The Guardian says that Tomorrow the Italian national team board will get together to discuss Conte's future (not sure how much there is to discuss) and he should be free to sign with us after that point.

Would be hilarious if it ends up somehow not happening now Laughing

by Kick Tue 15 Mar 2016, 04:59

It would, but I honestly can't see it not happening.

Or was it Robinho? I forget Laughing

Robinho

A formal announcement is expected later today but the federation president Carlo Tavecchio, speaking outside the governing body’s home in Rome, confirmed the 46-year-old has made clear his intention to depart. “Conte will leave the national team after the European Championship,” said Tavecchio.

The news everyone was expecting. Conte won't stay beyond the Euros, So I'd expect him to sign for us within the next few days.

Still waiting for Conte to be official.

Maybe they won't announce it until after the WC?

Pics of Chelsea official Gary Staker and Conte's brother Daniele have been circulating for a few days.

While Azpilicueta says the players do not know who the next manager will be.

The club tunnel marshal :bow:

by Kick Sat 26 Mar 2016, 01:57

He speaks Italian, and was a translator for Ranieri.

by Shed Sat 26 Mar 2016, 02:06

Wuuuut

by Kick Sat 26 Mar 2016, 02:09

Apparently.

by Shed Sat 26 Mar 2016, 02:12

Pretty impressive. Would never have thought it myself haha.

by Kick Sat 26 Mar 2016, 02:14

Yeah, neither.

Otherwise I wouldn't have bothered posting it Laughing

by Kick Mon 04 Apr 2016, 02:07

Di Marzio tweeted that Conte is in London today and is expected to sign for us tomorrow Thumbs up

by Soul Mon 04 Apr 2016, 15:35

It's official!

by Katy Perry Mon 04 Apr 2016, 17:29

It's a solid appointment. It's definitely one of the best we could have made. We should be fine for the next season.

I just hope he won't be too keen into forcing his 3-5-2 or to bring not that great players only because they orbit around Italy/Serie A. I don't want to see stuff like Ranocchia Giaccherini we've been linked to with the Chelsea shirt :facepalm:

. That's my only concern.

by Soul Wed 06 Apr 2016, 02:48

Haha I'm actually hoping for a change in formation. The 4-2-3-1 needs to go IMO
