Juventus coach Antonio Conte is on Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich's radar.
Abramovich has decided to dump Rafa Benitez at the end of the season and is actively considering a long-term replacement.
Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho is favourite, but Gazzetta dello Sport says Abramovich is considering Juventus boss Conte among the potential candidates.
Conte has been a revelation at Juve since his appointment 18 months ago, leading the club to the Scudetto and also into the knockout phase of the Champions League.
