Chelsea have sacked Pochettino. The official press release, of course, talks about a mutual parting of ways, but in terms of meaning and feeling it is exactly that, a sacking. Already the third under new owners in two seasons. For those looking to stay updated on football events and place informed bets, checking out the betking mobile app can be very useful.
Pochettino returned Chelsea to the European Cup but did not agree with the management on the development of the team. The Argentine believed in keeping the players the coach needed (Gallagher and Chalobah) and not buying those who were not needed. The management obviously has the exact opposite view.
Why Conte needs Chelsea
Let’s be clear right away – Conte is the least suited in the world to the role of a chump that Chelsea bosses assign to a coach. But! Conte is perfect for educational purposes. After the Italian, absolutely any coach will seem malleable and compliant to Bowley.
Conte gives results. Always and everywhere. And Conte gives results not tomorrow but today, which is very important for the Chelsea management. Each of the Italian’s teams has instantly improved in relation to last season.
Conte Won’t Need a Major Lineup Overhaul
The thing is, Conte’s system is pretty universal. Any low-quality/hard-working player is capable of gaining the Italians’ trust and getting game minutes. Conte himself, which fits poorly with his shopaholic image, is one of the best coaches in the world for his ability to build a team out of nooks and crannies. If you don’t believe me, just open the lineups of his championship teams, and you will find a lot of seemingly random people there.
Chelsea has a really talented, interesting squad, from which the hand of a master can mould something worthwhile despite all the chaotic procurement. Yes, a couple or three acquisitions would still be nice, but probably the management already expected to strengthen the squad this summer, so Conte and the club’s plans won’t diverge much.
There is even an option to make a deal: Conte agrees to sell his pupils, and the club bosses will meet the Italian’s demands in terms of incoming transfers.

Why Chelsea Need Conte
Well, okay, Chelsea’s motives are sorted out. But why does Conte need to get involved in this nonsense? Doesn’t he have better options?
If you answer briefly – no, there are no better options. If you answer in a little more detail – there can be no better options. Conte’s extremely difficult character has long been known throughout Europe, and even the leaders of problematic top clubs are unlikely to seriously consider his candidacy for the post of head coach.
