However, it appears the two parties have reached an agreement and the 46-year-old will be officially announced on Monday. Conte enjoyed three highly successful years as Juventus manager, winning three league titles and looks set to become Chelsea's eleventh manager since Roman Abramovich bought the club in 2003. Guus Hiddink has acted as interim manager since Jose Mourinho was sacked last December.
