ANTONIO CONTE will decide if John Terry has a future at Stamford Bridge after a face-to-face meeting with the Chelsea captain.
Conte was officially declared as Chelsea’s next permanent manager on Monday.
The current Italy boss will begin a three-year contract in west London after Euro 2016.
And one of his first jobs will be to make a decision on the future of Terry.
The long-serving defender’s contract expires at the end of the season and he is yet to be offered a new deal.
But according to The Sun, that could change after Conte holds showdown talks with the 35-year-old.
It is claimed that the new boss will have the final say on whether Terry will be offered the chance to extend his stay with the Blues into a 19th season.
Former assistant manager Ray Wilkins believes Conte will be keen to keep Terry around for his debut season at Stamford Bridge.
