AC Milan make contact with Chelsea boss Conte as Montella in doubt

AC Milan are watching Antonio Conte's situation at Chelsea.

Gazzetta dello Sport says Conte and Carlo Ancelotti are in the frame to replace under-fire Vincenzo Montella at AC Milan.

The Rossoneri gaffer has come under huge pressure after an indifferent start to the season following a big summer of spending from the club's new Chinese owners.

Milan are currently in sixth place after two defeats in six games, despite spending £170million on drastically improving the squad with the likes of Leonardo Bonucci and Andre Silva.

They have already contacted Conte and Bayern Munich coach Ancelotti over potentially replacing Montella.

Milan's next two league games could decide the former Fulham striker's future, as they face Roma and then local rivals Inter Milan.
