Antonio Conte's awful 'possibility'

Simon Stone

He may well leave anyway but it is hard to envisage Antonio Conte still being at Chelsea next season if they fail to secure a place in next season's Champions League.

Last season was the first Chelsea had spent outside the competition in 13 seasons and yesterday's defeat at Manchester United dropped the Blues down to fifth and outside the automatic qualification places for next term's.

After the match I asked Conte whether Chelsea might miss out again.

"It is a possibility for sure," he answered. "This country is the only one where you have six teams who can fight for a place in the Champions League.

"We must understand this and be ready to fight but it will not be easy."
