Sunday Express tout Ancelotti for possible Chelsea return

The Sunday Express continue to speculate over the future of Chelsea boss Antonio Conte.

The newspaper has repeatedly suggested in recent months that Conte has been close to leaving Stamford Bridge.

Claiming an exclusive, the Sunday Express now reports that Carlo Ancelotti is the favourite to take over at his former club after bookmakers William Hill installed him as their favourite for the job.

The Sunday Express declare that Ancelotti, who led Chelsea to the Double in 2010 and was sacked the following year, has “emerged as favourite to do an Italian job on Antonio Conte.”

Ancelotti is out of work, having recently left Bayern Munich.

He is also being linked with the manager’s jobs at Leicester, West Ham and Everton.
