Chelsea are believed to be considering an approach for Italy coach Antonio Conte to replace current boss Jose Mourinho.

The Blues, who won the Premier League last season, have suffered a remarkable collapse in their form this season and currently sit in 14th place in the Premier League table, just two points above the relegation zone.

As a result, owner Roman Abramovich is looking at options to replace the former Inter coach, and according to the Independent, the former Juventus coach Conte tops his shortlist.

However, the Russian billionaire may struggle to entice the Italian before the end of Euro 2016, though it is yet to be seen whether the Bianconeri legend would be tempted to manage Chelsea should Abramovich come calling.

During his time at Juventus, Conte guided the Bianconeri to three consecutive Scudettos.
