July 14 is four days after the final of Euro 2016, which will be held on July 10. That is the longest Conte could possibly be in his role as Italy coach.
If Conte’s side were to win the tournament, there will be presumably be some official celebrations to attend back in Italy, so July 14 is probably the earliest possible risk-free date.
The article notes that Conte’s appointment at Stamford Bridge is set to be confirmed on Bastille Day. Italy fans will hope that taking France by storm turns out to be his final duty with the national team.
Conte is due to meet Blues owner Roman Abramovich this week to finalise the terms of his contract and shake hands on the deak.
