I DON’T

Conte fears even winning Cup won’t save him

- BY ADRIAN KAJUMBA

ANTONIO CONTE has accepted he could be sacked even if he leads Chelsea to FA Cup glory.

Today’s clash with Manchester United is expected to be the Italian’s last game in charge of the Blues. And he is well aware that winning it might not be enough to save him. He said: “As you know very well, our

job is very difficult. Sometimes you can win but the club decides to sack you anyway because they have a reason to do this.”

Conte said it was not for him to say whether lifting the trophy should have a bearing on his future.

“There are other people to judge your work, to judge the season,” he said.

“I don’t think I’d be the right person to say, ‘OK, if we win I plan this situation or if we don’t we plan another situation’.

“I’m not interested in this. I’m interested in winning the final.”
