Carlo Ancelotti in Talks with Chelsea Over Replacing Antonio Conte

Chelsea have held initial talks with Carlo Ancelotti about a surprise return to Stamford Bridge, according to reports in Italy.

Ancelotti was sacked by Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich at the end of the 2010-11 campaign after finishing his second season in charge without a trophy.

Antonio Conte’s future at Stamford Bridge has been in doubt since the summer following reports of a fractured relationship with Chelsea’s hierarchy.

Conte is understood to be unhappy with several decisions made regarding transfers during his time at the club, including the call to sell Nemanja Matic to Manchester United and the club’s failure to sign Radja Nainggolan and Fernando Llorente.

Earlier this month, reports claimed that Conte regrets not quitting Chelsea in the summer and is already planning to leave at the end of the season.

On Wednesday, La Gazzetta dello Sport reported that Ancelotti’s main desire is to return to the Premier League and he has already been approached by both Chelsea and Arsenal.

Ancelotti, who won the Premier League and FA Cup in his first season at Chelsea, is currently out of work after being sacked by Bayern Munich at the end of September.

The 58-year-old is one of the frontrunners to replace Giampiero Ventura as Italy boss following their failure to qualify for next year’s World Cup in Russia.

Biafra: Respect your old age – BNYL warns Lai Mohammed over comments on IPOB

Biafra Nations Youth League, BNYL, has cautioned Minister of information, Lai Mohammed, over his comments that IPOB is dead. The group warned that such declaration could lead to provocation in the South East and South South regions. Mohammed had told newsmen that “the large turnout witnessed during the election has sounded the death knell on IPOB. “I think what that proved really is that IPOB does not represent the good people of Anambra or any state in the South East. “If truly they represented the people, the IPOB propaganda about the election really showed that they are not on ground.” Reacting, BNYL Leader, Princewill Obuka, said “That old man does not know how determined the Biafrans are. He saw what happened during military raid.” “Such resistance should have told them that Biafrans, if armed, would really consume Nigeria like Kanu was saying. “He should respect his old age and turn attention to Boko Haram and Shiites”.
