Chelsea have agreed a 'deal in principle' for Italy boss Antonio Conte to become their new manager.
Conte's contract with Italy expires at the end of Euro 2016 and the 46-year-old wants to return to club management.
Italian newspaper La Gazzetta dello Sport claimed on Tuesday a deal had been struck between Conte and Chelsea, and that Roman Abramovich will make the final call on whether he gets the job.
Conte will meet with the FIGC – the Italian football federation – in March to confirm that he wants to leave after this summer's tournament in France.
He is also set to hold further talks with Chelsea in the same month ahead of Italy’s friendlies with Spain and Germany.
Juventus manager Massimiliano Allegri was another contender for the Chelsea job but is set to stay with the Italian champions as they prepare to offer him a new contract.
