Chelsea news: Conte will leave Blues as dressing room is broken - Paolo Di Canio

PAOLO DI CANIO thinks his fellow Italian Antonio Conte will leave Chelsea before the end of the season.

The former West Ham striker has also made an extraordinary claim that “something has broken inside the dressing room.”

Conte has come under pressure in recent weeks as his side sit fourth in the Premier League table.

The Blues’ title defence has suffered some major hiccups which include defeats to Burnley and Crystal Palace.

Something has broken inside the dressing room and I expect Conte to rescind his Chelsea contract by mutual agreement if nothing changes in the next few weeks.

And Di Canio is not surprised that some Blues fans are calling for the head of their manager.

“It’s not a surprising news”, Di Canio told Sky Sports.

“Antonio Conte has never denied he could leave Chelsea.

“Something has broken inside the dressing room and I expect Conte to rescind his Chelsea contract by mutual agreement if nothing changes in the next few weeks.”

However, a 1-0 win over Manchester united at Stamford Bridge today could relieve some of the pressure temporarily.

Alvaro Morata scored a brilliant header to ensure the Blues remain in the final Champions League spot - three points ahead of Liverpool in fourth.
