The Next Manager?

So within a couple of days we've been linked, by respected newspapers or journalists at the Guardian, Times, Telegraph and Independent, to Conte, Sampaoli, Allegri, Mark Hughes, Simeone, Eddie Howe, Ranieri, Guardiola and Pochettino... 

Of course it could all just be nonsense but the lack of discernible pattern in the alleged managerial targets wouldn't be too surprising, given the apparent lack of focus or philosophy at the club (as many have already spoken about).

Just making their way through this list:  https://www.skybet.com/football/specials/manager-specials

Wouldn't put it past Sky to leak some of these stories to trump up some bets.

I don't get why people think we would play coward football with Simeone.

Just remember our Semi-Final against Atletico at the bridge where Atletico made the 1-1 away goal. Instead of sitting back they went for the 2n goal and sucker punched us even a 3rd time at home knocking us out in a bravely and hazardous fashion.

Calling Simeone's style of play coward and small-team-tactics just shows your lack of knowledge.

Hey new guy, I hope you enlighten us all with your knowledge.

You can bring up as many individual examples as you like, but generally Simeone's team is a defensive and counter-attacking one, simple as that. With all the respect to Atletico and its fanbase, they do not have the expectations and ambition that top clubs like us should have, hence why they are content with the way they play. Atletico will always be an underdog, nothing more.

We need to have a serious look at Sampaoli as our next manager. Chelsea at the moment are in a dire need of positivity. Sampaoli is a passionate guy and can bring us a Football with high pressing and a high defensive lane, with wave after wave of players supporting the attacking movement. He is also a tactically astute manager. Imo he should be by far our number one choice.

True but is he capable of adapting to (slightly) different style? He had good players at Universidad de Chile and Chile to carry out his high energy pressing, attacking game. Do we have the right players for that? I don't think so. Having a great personality and clear vision is one thing but one must also understand and be able to adapt to different demands of football - like in the case of Sampaoli if he comes to Europe.

I quoted this by mistake and don't know how to remove it.

I'd would rather Howe than Hughes or Ranieri tbh, the football he's got Bournemouth playing is unbelievable. 

I respect what he's done but his teams are far too defensively weak for my liking, it would be like Rodgers at Liverpool, he might get lucky if Hazard has an unreal season like Suarez did for Brendan, but other than that he will be out of his depth.

To hire someone with zero European experience would be stupid.

We should divide managers/players in two sections only: good and bad. And he is very good :) end of story. If you want European experience than we should go for Capello and play boring football once again ;)

Just don't bring any "tactical" coach, who will defend with 11 men against any decent opponent. I want to see desire that we can overplay any team in the world. We should hire a manager with passion and desire to work here and to build his own team, he should be given time to bring team back to title race, we shouldn't demand an instant success. I wouldn't mind Eddie Howe here, his team is playing free flowing attacking football with two main attacking players out injured (Wilson and Gradel). My only concern is his age, so I prefer Sampaoli. But Eddie Howe is good, big future ahead of this coach ;)

According to Sky Sport journalist @AAlciato, Antonio Conte is close to becoming manager of Chelsea.

In Italy they're giving it as already done for some reason on the second most important channel on tv.

I would still take it with a pinch of salt though, at least until more sources say it's done :)
