ANTONIO CONTE wants a swift resolution to his Chelsea limbo.
The Blues’ coach insists he is committed to the club despite mounting speculation he will be sacked this summer with 12 months still left on his £9.6million-a-year contract.
Tonight’s home game against relegation-threatened Huddersfield may turn out to be his Stamford Bridge swansong.
Chelsea are at Newcastle for Sunday’s season finale before facing Manchester United in a Wembley FA Cup final in ten days’ time.
Conte said: “There are two weeks and this season will finish and you will know if there is a different situation or if you see me again next season.
“It is very difficult to comment on any speculation because it has been around me from the start of the season after the first game against Burnley.
“I think you understood this speculation is not important for me because my focus is only to work in the best possible way with my players.
“Right now it is important to be focused on the present and to finish this season in the best possible way.

“This is not my task to tell if I did a good job, or if I have a good team for next season, or if we are building something important.
“There is the club and people able to make judgements about this season. I think I am the last person to make a judgment on it.”

Conte’s fifth-placed side are mounting a late charge for the top four.
They trail Spurs by two points and are three behind Liverpool in third — with a game in hand on the Scousers.
Italian Conte, 48, added: “For sure there is disappointment because this season we dropped many points in a stupid way against teams, especially games we dominated.
“But now is not the time for regret because we have to play two games and then the FA Cup and at the end of the season we will see.”
