Next Chelsea manager expected to arrive at Stamford Bridge today

ANTONIO CONTE could be at Stamford Bridge tonight to watch Chelsea's Champions League clash with Paris Saint-Germain as he nears the Blues job.

Express Sport understand that Conte, 46, is Chelsea's No1 candidate to replace Guus Hiddink as manager at the end of the season.
The Italy head coach's representatives have been thrashing out a deal with Chelsea counterparts since last month.
A pre-contract agreement is expected to be confirmed before the end of March.

And sources in Italy last night claimed Conte may be present to watch over his prospective new team in west London this evening.
He has meetings with Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich scheduled in Monte Carlo next week.
It is understood the former Juventus head coach has demanded a three-year contract worth £18million.

He would succeed interim boss Hiddink a few days after Euro 2016 in France concludes on 10 July.
Meanwhile, it emerged yesterday that Conte's appeal to bring forward a court case on match fixing has been granted by an Italian judge.
Conte had asked his hearing, which will examine his alleged role in the match-fixing scandal that dogged Italian football five years ago, to be moved so as not to clash with the European Championships.
His new date is 21 April.
As for Chelsea, they need to reverse a 2-1 defeat from the first leg of last month's last-16 clash in Paris.
