Chelsea boss Antonio Conte is fast losing support inside the boardroom.

The Mirror says the Chelsea hierarchy are losing faith in Conte following a disappointing first half of the season.

He spent £190m on transfers during the summer but the champions appear to have gone backwards.

Conte will have just one year left on his contract at the end of the season and with rumours he wants a return to Italy, as well as interest from PSG, it is reported that Blues chiefs will happily let him move on.

The former Juventus boss has made a habit of falling out with his players, having shipped out striker Diego Costa before dropping Brazilian defender David Luiz.
