I'll be happy to see an early announcement made if it does come off. It will be good to get all the speculation out of the way and the club can start making plans with the new guy..whoever it is.
I'd be happy enough, but not exactly ecstatic.

I'm probably happier than most, but I do think he will do a great job.
I just think for what he has achieved domestically he doesn't get the recognition.
OK Serie A isn't the toughest league in the world, and Juventus are always going to be the favourites to win it but I do rate Conte and hope he does show what he can do against the Guardiolas, Klopps and dare we say it, Mourinhos in the Premier League next season.
I think if it does happen Roman has made a great choice.
(P.S. I did say the same about AVB, who I still don't think got enough time, and if I am wrong I'll freely admit it. haha)

If so, you would be in a similar situation to us when we got LvG, in wanting the national team to exit the tournament as soon as possible, so that they can get down to club business.”
He'd come in next season as Hiddink is in charge until the end of this season and yes we would get him after the Euros.
I wouldn't say I'd want an early exit for Italy though. Yes it would maybe help him settle in at Chelsea but I'd want him to do well at the Euros so he has momentum coming into the club and maybe not having to face questions about early exits and if he's that good.
