Chelsea keeper coach Lollichon fears for future

Chelsea goalkeeper coach Christophe Lollichon fears for his job future.

The Daily Mail says Lollichon fears he is being pushed out of Stamford Bridge amid ongoing tensions with Thibaut Courtois.

The pair have an uneasy working relationship and clashed several times last season over Lollichon's training techniques.

Courtois is almost certain to start next season at Chelsea, despite the club being open to offers of £60million-plus for Belgium's No 1. And incoming boss Antonio Conte, knowing Courtois is likely to be his main keeper, will do all he can to ensure the 24-year-old is completely settled.

The problems between Courtois and Lollichon have been brought to the attention of outgoing Italy boss Conte, who is pondering his next move. Lollichon is popular at Stamford Bridge and has a close relationship with the club's powerbrokers.
