Conte agrees Chelsea deal

Italian head coach Antonio Conte has reportedly agreed to take over the managerial post at Chelsea next season.

The Blues, who are under the control of interim boss Guus Hiddink, are expected to bring in a new manager in the summer.

The likes of Massimiliano Allegri and Diego Simeone have been recently linked with the Blues' vacancy, but according to Gazzetta dello Sport, 46-year-old Conte has agreed a deal in principle to take charge at Stamford Bridge.

It is added that the former Juventus man will switch his allegiance to the Blues once he finishes his job with Azzurri for Euro 2016.

Chelsea are currently placed 12th in the Premier League.
