Chelsea legend, Gianfranco Zola has revealed that the current manager of the club, Antonio Conte, will remain at Stamford Bridge next season.
Zola said the Italian is the best option to lead Chelsea amid speculations that the Blues could change manager this summer.
Conte led Chelsea to the Premier League title in his first year at Stamford Bridge but has been struggling this term, with the Blues in real danger of failing to qualify for the Champions League next season.
There is a growing belief that Conte will leave this summer, a year before the end of his contract.
But Zola insisted that the former Juventus boss is still the best man to lead the club. He told the BBC, “It is easy to say Antonio Conte is not happy.
“He is a winner, and has always been like that since he was a player. He wants things to go his way and right now they are not, so he cannot hide his disappointment.
“I genuinely think he is a good fit for Chelsea, one of the best coaches around, and as I want the best for Chelsea so hope his stays. There are a few issues, but hopefully they solve them.”
In recent weeks, Chelsea have been linked with a host of alternative coaches, with former Barcelona boss, Luis Enrique said to be the favourite to take charge at Stamford Bridge.
