Chelsea are considering a discussion with Antonio Conte, in what would be another sensational development in their managerial search.
The Stamford Bridge hierarchy are already deep in talks about a shock return for Frank Lampard as an interim, in order to give themselves breathing space to appoint the right long-term manager. The club have been insistent that this will be a "thorough process" and that is illustrated by the fact that co-controlling owners Todd Boehly and Behdad Eghali are at least curious to see what the Italian can bring, as the last manager to win the title at Chelsea.
