London, February 6: Former Barcelona manager and Spain striker Luis Enrique is set to replace Antonio Conte as manager of Chelsea as the club's board meet on Tuesday.

Conte is on the brink following Chelsea's 4-1 defeat at Watford on Monday, which came after a 3-0 home loss to Bournemouth.

Enrique is the London club's first choice to replace Conte, who could be sacked right away, and is 'one step away' from the job, reported Mail Online.

Enrique, 47, has also managed Roma and Celta Vigo, and is available immediately having left Barcelona last summer.

The reports also suggest former Barcelona and Chelsea full-back Juliano Belletti will be appointed sporting director at Stamford Bridge.

Given Chelsea are set to play Barcelona in the last-16 of the Champions League, it raises the intriguing possibility of Enrique facing his successor Ernesto Valverde over two legs.

Enrique's spell in charge of Barcelona was a successful one as he led them to two Spanish league titles, three Spanish Cups and the Champions League in 2015.
