Antonio Conte back in London for crunch Chelsea board meeting

Antonio Conte is set to meet with Chelsea's board today.

The Daily Express says Conte is due to meet with the Chelsea board today after jetting home to Italy after Saturday's FA Cup final to watch Andrea Pirlo's testimonial last night.

And after they could only finish fifth in the top flight this year to miss out on Champions League qualification, Conte is expected to be pushed out a year before his contract expires.

Napoli boss Maurizio Sarri and Luis Enrique, who is returning to football after taking a year-long break after leaving Barcelona, are two names in the frame.

Fulham's Slavisa Jokanovic is another contender after guiding Chelsea's neighbours to the brink of a Premier League return with Saturday's Championship play-off final against Aston Villa.
