Chelsea manager, Antonio Conte, is now in a sticky situation after failing to secure a top-four spot with his side. The Italian coach led the Londoners in search of a win at the St James’ Park where they have not won a single game since 2011 while hoping that Brighton wins at Anfield in order to dent Liverpool’s chances of finishing above them.
However, that was not the case as Chelsea fell to a 3-0 defeat against Rafa Benitez’s men whereas the Spanish manager’s former side also secured all the three points against Brighton at Merseyside. The turn of events has, as a result, provoked fans to voice their misgivings on social media.
Many have advised club owner Roman Abramovich to part ways with Conte if he indeed fancies his club’s chances of winning the upcoming FA Cup final against Manchester United. Whether the Russian club owner yields to these pleas is simply a matter of time. Below are some of the best tweets:
The thought is crossing my mind that if Abramovich is remotely interested in Chelsea winning the FA Cup he needs to sack Conte tonight.

Abramovich must sack Conte today. If he wants that FA Cup, it has to be today. Absolutely dire.

Conte doesn’t deserve to represent Chelsea in the FA cup final

I beg of you @ChelseaFC sack Conte before the FA cup finals and let Jody Morris take over temporarily.

No wait!!!
He still gotta take another L from Mourinho this weekend
I’m not normally one for knee-jerk reactions, but if it was up to me I’d sack Conte after this game and put Jody Morris in charge for the cup final.#NEWvCHE

10 league defeats for Conte - Get rid of him, NOW, FFS
Conte should get the sack after the game and not be allowed to enter the team bus.
