CONTE ‘CANT WAIT TO LEAVE CHELSEA’

Pal Vialli says Italian hates it at the Bridge

- BY DARREN LEWIS

ANTONIO CONTE is sick of Chelsea’s transfer policy and cannot wait to get out of Stamford Bridge.

The Italian FA have already contacted their former manager, with Chelsea set to dispense with his services at the end of the season, and the national team in urgent need of rebuilding.

And Conte, 48, is counting the

days because of how disillusio­ned he has become. Ex-Blues boss Gianluca Vialli revealed his close pal has had enough, despite leading the Blues to the Premier League title only 11 months ago. Vialli (above) said: “Conte can’t wait to leave Chelsea. He can’t stand that they sell or buy players without consulting him. The truth is, they would like a manager who is more of a club man.”

Italy are desperate for Conte to lead their resurgence after they failed to qualify for the World Cup.

Vialli added: “Whether it’s the Nazionale or Paris Saint-Germain, he’ll find a place where he can start winning something important again.

“There will be a queue of contracts for him to sign.”
