Emenalo appointed as Technical director

[Term-X 7,891]

Emenalo breathing down AVB's neck..

Just what we need..

[zolayes 14,489]

I really wish people would stop questioning Emenalo's knowledge of the game. Obviously he is doing something right otherwise he wouldn't have been employed by a club like Chelsea. Just because you don't hear him talkl about his role very often, does not mean he cannot do it effectively. That being said, it doesn't look like he will be staying as assistant coach for the coming season, maybe a role upstairs could be on the cards.

He is a KGB agent...

well the same argument could have been made when grant was made cfc manager "well he must be a good manager if chelsea appointed him" that has clearly been proved to not be the case.

in my eyes if chelsea are to appoint a director of football we should be apointing one of the best in his field as we would for a player or manager. emenalo for me would not be the right appointment as director of football..

Exactly.

The people defending Emenalo here are delusional.

Im not defending him and i'm certainly not delusional. The fact that people are calling into question his knowledge of the game and his ability as an assistant coach or possible DoF without any knowledge of him/his abilities whatsoever is pathetic. He goes about his jobs behind the scenes, and we know nothing of it. He could be good or he could be terrible, the point i'm making is that we don't know enough to make an informed decision.

The club’s former opposition scout, awarded a £5 million-a-year contract at Stamford Bridge for the next three seasons, is expected to announce that his fitness coach, Jose Mario Rocha, and his scout, Daniel Sousa will both follow him from Portugal in the coming days. He will, though, retain Michael Emenalo on his staff, after Abramovich recommended the Nigerian coach’s services.

He survives again! :champions:

Not for along time...

There isn't enough information on Emenalo's abilities or role to either slate him or appreciate him. Not to mention that he is simply not important enough.

[Caeruleus 1,148]

I think that Emenalo will not be Director of Sport/Football here in Chelsea FC! I think this is a fake information. There are roumors about Zola as DoF!

How nice would it Emenalo to leave and come Zola

[termninja 5,290]

Andre if you are reading this please take Zola as a director of football

[Veso_Chelsea 1]

After Di Mateo and Zola return to Stamford Bridge will be unbelievable!

[Guest justin_3d]

I still would like to know why Roman likes him so much.

Shoot if Roman just went for AVB, and still likes Emanolo then he must be saying something good to Roman....

Chelsea manager Andre Villas-Boas backs promotion of Michael Emenalo

[BlueLion. 21,491]

As long as he doesn't do a Grant and insist on pretending to be the manager and sitting in the dugout, good luck to him.

[ruggedknot 105]

Won't be slating him like much of the tide goes as not a lot of people outside the club actually know how good he is at what he is given to do . That said , would like to think an influential position such as 'director' of the club would be more suited for someone who has a certain clout and more importantly , relevance in the European and general football stage . This doesn't inspire confidence for the general supporter and probably in extension - with other clubs when player deals/events like the CL Draw or any UEFA/FA official meetups happen .

Expected to leave

You judge a manager primarily based on result and Grant's record at Chelsea strongly suggests he's a very decent manager indeed. it's just absolutely silly to rubbish or dismiss someone's performance based on sentimental reasons (he's not charismatic, he has an over bloated jaw line and other sentimental bullshit). The same way some half witted pundits dismissed guardiola's exceptional performance at barca on having the benefit of a great team. get some perspective guys.
