Luis Enrique could take charge of Chelsea before the end of the season.
The Mirror says Antonio Conte’s Chelsea future will be sealed by four huge matches over the next six weeks — starting with their Champions League last-16 tie against Barcelona next month.
It has been claimed in his native Spain that ex-Barcelona boss Enrique could even be installed on the Blues bench BEFORE the first leg with his former club on February 20.
Chelsea insist it is business as usual after backing their head coach in the January transfer window and with the reigning Premier League champions still in three competitions.
But there is increasing irritation in the boardroom about recent poor results — especially Wednesday’s 3-0 home defeat to Bournemouth — and Conte’s repeated public criticism of club policy.
