Chelsea boss Antonio Conte knows he can walk straight into a new job should he be fired.
Conte survived a board meeting on Tuesday after the previous evening’s thrashing at Watford, but his job at Chelsea remains in the balance.
Meanwhile, the Italian can comfort himself with offers already being made to his agents from home.
FIGC chiefs remain hopeful of convincing Conte to take on the Italy job for a second time, but they’re not alone. Inter Milan and AC Milan are also in contact.
At Inter, there is a feeling Luciano Spalletti would be moved on should Conte become available as their season falls away. Milan, meanwhile, have only hired Rino Gattuso to the end of the season, with no guarantee he will be offered a longer stay.
