Former Liverpool star Stan Collymore has urged Chelsea owner Todd Boehly to hire former Chelsea manager Antonio Conte.

Collymore told CaughtOffside: “In the meantime, the club will obviously be out looking for a permanent manager to take charge next season and I am amazed that even though we’ve seen a whole host of names linked with the position, Antonio Conte hasn’t been one.

“Why should Mauricio Pochettino and Luis Enrique be ahead of Conte; a man who has already won everything at Chelsea? – He is also a manager that rules with an iron fist so he wouldn’t be scared to clear out the deadwood in the summer.

“In my opinion, Conte is the most obvious choice so I am stunned he isn’t being mentioned more.”
