Roman Abramovich
Chelsea owner Roman Abrahmovich is reportedly getting jittery with the performance of Chelsea which only last season won the premier league. Sources close to the Russian Oligarch say like he did with Mourinho, Antonio Conte is unlikely to survive the axe if Chelsea continues to slip.
“It is hard to see Conte get away with this, because Abrahmovich is a results oriented person. We can only wait and see what happens next,” Tony Bradley said.

While the rumours continue to swirl around Stamford Bridge, Frank Lampard has come to dispute the allegations, saying that Conte is fully in control and was there to stay. “He has restored order to the team and there is a sense of direction. He will not be replaced soon. They will get back to form,” Lampard says.
A season before the previous one, Jose Mourinho who had won the preceding season was booted out for Conte. It was one of the most humiliating moments of the Portuguese manager’s career. He spent some time weighing his options before taking up a contract with Manchester United.
Abrahmovich is said to hire managers strictly to win trophies and does not entertain anything less than that.
