Chelsea have made contact with Antonio Conte regarding their managerial vacancy in what could lead to a stunning return.
The Italian spent two years at Stamford Bridge before he was sacked in 2018, but he remains the last Blues boss to deliver the Premier League title. Chelsea's hierarchy are determined to undergo a thorough process as they seek their next manager having sacked Graham Potter last week.
Chelsea have endured a poor campaign by their standards, made worse by the huge sums invested in the playing group, and there is a determination to get their next appointment right. Frank Lampard has returned until the end of the season as caretaker, but a host of big names are being considered beyond that - with Conte among them.
