Watford v Chelsea - Premier League
Frequent outbursts against the board haven't helped Antonio Conte

This one might not be left in the hands of the club after all, as Antonio Conte has shown no inclination of staying at the club.

Conte's arrival in England last season was a dream start for the London club, as they raced to a second title in three years, and reached the final of the FA Cup, losing out to Arsenal. Their second season, however, has been an altogether different story.

Chelsea sit at 5th position in the table, and in a fierce fight for a Champions League spot next season. They were knocked out of the UEFA Champions League by Barcelona, but are through to the semi-finals of this year's FA Cup competition.

Conte's downfall at the club began even before the season began, as he repeatedly attacked the Blues' board for not making the transfers he wanted. Since then, he hasn't backed down either. Conte has expressed his displeasure every time the subject of signings has been brought up, and has rightly annoyed the Chelsea board.

The signings that have happened - including the backup replacements - haven't turned out great either. Alvaro Morata and Tiemoue Bakayoko have endured dismal runs of form, and dips in form for Eden Hazard and Cesc Fabregas haven't helped things either.

Like Real Madrid, Chelsea have a notorious reputation for being trigger-happy. Barring a miraculous return to the top-4, combined with the FA Cup title, the chances of Conte staying at Chelsea are minimal. The Italian will not mind, as he has often expressed his desire to return to Italy.
