Kjetil Knutsen of FK Bodø/Glimt is a name circulating for potential new Strasbourg manager, and another is ex City Coach Brian Barry-Murphy of Cardiff City. (@lequipe ) Joe Shields He can't help himself; he was also a key player for Enzo Maresca, who brought him to Chelsea.

-Iraola🚫 -De Zerbi🚫 -Faroli🚫 -Glasner🚫 -Fabregas🚫 -Klopp🚫 -Mourinho🚫 -Zidane🚫 🗯I haven't heard of any rejections from Marco Silva, McKenna, or Xavi yet, unlike the ones mentioned above!

One thing I will add: the club didn't want to make a mid-season change but the position became untenable. This has also impacted who they have considered because managers even less frequently want to change jobs mid-season. (@Rob)

🗯💥Rosenior was certainly not my preferred choice either, but anyone who thinks that Chelsea will still be looking for big-name coaches and players at the end of 2022 is still living in the Abra era! That won't be the case for a few years now. At least Rosenior is playing with proper full-backs who aren't inverted and is focusing on width and wing play. Every player plays where he is best, and he is tactically flexible, which Maresca was not.

💣🗯Liam Rosenior is Chelsea's new coach! The agreement with him was reached over a week ago. This meant that Chelsea couldn't turn down a new coach, as Chelsea had always seen Rosenior as Enzo's successor. There are still a few minor details to be clarified. An announcement will be made after the game against City. Rosenior is practically a Blue!!! (@SimonPhillips)

AVB 2.0 😄🚫

🚑Joe Shields is bringing all former City employees and players to Chelsea and Strasbourg! He already did this in Southampton and helped himself generously at City.

🔵💣West Ham United are in talks over a loan move for Chelsea attacker Raheem Sterling (@EXWHUEmployee)

💣💥It’s looking likely that Liam Rosenior is going to be the next Chelsea head coach✅

Glasner, Iraola, Fabregas are not contenders for Chelsea at the moment. (@JacobSteinberg) Hmmm

🔴Chelsea are not expected to go for a star name such as Zinedine Zidane or Jürgen Klopp. 🌟❌️ (@Matt_Law_DT)

🗯💣Breaking News Andoni Iraola is being considered to become the next Chelsea head coach. (via @kierangill_DM / @MikeKeegan_DM)

🔴John Terry will NOT be on the shortlist for the position of head coach at Chelsea. (@kierangill DM)

💣🗯👀👁Xavi,Farioli,Nagelsmann,McKenna,Marco Silva

🚨 Breaking News According to a source in Strasbourg, Liam Rosenior's departure to Chelsea "is not on the cards at this stage." ❌️ (@lequipe)

😄🙈

🗯According to Simon Phillips, Kieran McKenna is also a name being discussed by the board!

BREAKING: ManCity and Enzo Maresca held talks last year, with contact between the two predating his Chelsea exit. The discussions are now emerging amid fallout from Maresca’s departure and internal tensions at Stamford Bridge. (@JacobsBen)

🔵Strasbourg’s Liam Rosenior is among the favourites to replace Maresca. Francesco Farioli, the Porto head coach, could be considered although it would cost in the region of £13m to activate his buy-out clause. (@Matt_Law_DT)

🔴De Zerbi isn't currently a candidate. (@kierangill_DM)

🔴Cesc Fabregas is NOT a contender to replace Enzo Maresca. (@alex_crook) ‼️ Oliver Glasner is not in the frame to replace Enzo Maresca. (@David_Ornstein)

🗯💥I compared which coaches Chelsea could sign and am interested to see whether they would also rely heavily on attacking full-backs like Guardiola and Maresca in their formation. ✅️ -Xabi Alonso does not allow his full-backs to inverted; they remain glued to the line in his system. -Rosenior does not allow his full-backs to inverted; they remain glued to the line in his system. -Filipe Luis does not allow his full-backs to inverted; they remain glued to the line in his system. -Nagelsmann does not allow his full-backs to inverted; they remain glued to the line in his system. -Marco Silva does not allow his full-backs to inverted; they remain glued to the line in his system. -Lampard does not allow his full-backs to inverted; they remain glued to their lines in his system. -McKenna does not allow his full-backs to inverted; they remain glued to their lines in his system. -A. Ferreira does not allow his full-backs to inverted; they remain glued to their lines in his system. -Glasner does not allow his full-backs to inverted; they remain glued to their lines in his system. -Jaissle does not allow his full-backs to inverted; they remain glued to their lines in his system. ⚫️Unfortunately, the following coaches also prefer a formation with attacking wingers in midfield, as Pep and Maresca love to do: -Fabregas⛔️ -De Zerbi⛔️ -Farioli⛔️ -Iraola⛔️ -Xavi⛔️ Since I no longer want to see a Maresca formation at Chelsea that only limits players, I would prefer one of the above names and no more inverted managers!

💣🔥Maresca and Chelsea could part ways in next hours. Very tense. (@FabrizioRomano)

💣One solution would be for Chelsea to turn to Liam Rosenior, who has long been viewed as a potential successor to Maresca. [guardian] (@guardian_sport)
