Conte ready to take big risk for title

Antonio Conte is ready to risk his job as manager if Chelsea win the Premier League title.

Claudio Ranieri was sacked by Leicester on Thursday night after winning the 2015-16 title, while Jose Mourinho left Chelsea in December 2015, seven months after winning the Premier League.

Conte’s Chelsea are eight points clear and play at home to Swansea today.

Conte, said: “First of all I think that it’s important to finish this season in the best way and if we are able to reach this dream, for me, for the players, I’m ready to face this risk. There are 13 games left and we want to stay at the top. It won’t be easy, but I’m ready to take this risk if it means we win the league.”
