The Next Manager?

[bethos1 802]

I wouldn't mind us taking a risk on someone like Koeman, Sampaoli, etc.

[Fernando 6,489]

This is why I don't want Pellegrini. 

 

[Vytis33 1,171]

Please no Pellegrino.

Easy at bankrupt Italian clubs with rubbish squads. None of that gives me hope

Absolutely. Really, I couldn't care less how many youth we bring through, id much rather build a successful team. The end of Chelsea Football Club is not to bring through youngsters.

 

[Fernando 6,489]

And no I don't want Raniere neither. 

Just get us a competent manager and we will be alright. 

[Alabama 1,992]

A competent manager with few quality summer signings...we gonna be rocking back at the top...

[Laylabelle 9,395]

like real...

[It's too big 625]

So looks like it won't be Allegri - another hammer blow! ffs, the search for a manager just gets worse. 

 

Allegri:"10 million a year from Chelsea? It makes me laugh. I have a contract with Juve until 2017 & I'm happy here"

Exactly. MP was never a top class manager, that's not to say hes not good. just easily outclassed by the best. He may well do good at a Bayern or a PSG but that's because everything is on a plate. You have a team full of world class players and set them out to attack. That might be a recipe for success, but its a self sufficient recipe. It dosnt mater if the manager is Pellegrino or Enrique you will win more often than not.

 

Chelsea are no such team. Its been more than 5 years since we can say that we have had more than 3 outfield players that are world class, that would get in most teams. Considering how many big European teams there are, I cant see us having a team with the likes of Carvalho, Makelele, Lampard, Drogba, Robben and A.Cole all at the same time. The board seems to want to do an Arsenal, and have a few world class players to pull the rest of the team up and be there or there abouts. Though I would love for us to do a Bayern or Madrid and have a first team of almost completely world class players, I cant see it with the board at the moment and Pellegrini does not suite that environment.

Keep away from him or whip out the checkbook! Make sure the defence is the best in Europe with him as well

These are the 4 candidates for the Chelsea job: Simeone,Allegri,Sampaoli and Conte. ( Dimarzio)

Looking at realistic options, very happy with this. I cant actually decide my order of preference, it depends on the day lol.

- Simeone will probably walk in an have us contenders again straight away. I'll agree his footballis similar to Mourinhos and there will be boring games, but that's a general similarity. I still think Simeone plays more attractive football than Jose because of the way they press, and that Diego's teams do have an inkling of how to attack when the have the ball. So the fact he isn't a gung ho, balls to the walls attacker doesn't put me off. Realistic though? he wont leave Atleti.

- Allegri and Conte I just view as essentially the same. Granted, I knw little of both and what I do know is based on suppositions, but I have tried to find out as much as I can about them. Thanks to everyone who was helped shine light for those who had no idea about the guys. Choulo, I'm looking at you especially.

The reason is see them essentially the same, is based on where I think they'll take the club and what they need. Neither need world class players throughout, nor a big budget and will still be competitive. That sounds lucrative. I don't think they will make us as competitive as Simeone, but that's because I think under Diego will have just as much chance to win the league as City do under Guardiola. Under the 2 Italians, I think we'll be title contenders but certainly not favourites. Being Italian, I'm intrigued at what tactical ideas they'll bring to the table, or some reason I cant quite explain, Italian managers seem to do well in general in the Premier League. Their football strikes me as horses for courses more than the other candidates, whether its frustrating Madrid over two legs, looking to dominate minnows in a home league match or getting the balance right in a Cup final or important league match. I think this quality is the one that makes these two stand out in terms of the capabilities we'd have in different situations.

- Sampaoli seems to be the dark horse. Unkown in Europe, he caught the eye with an exciting UDC team and was then fast tracked to the Chilean national team. If the identity of the team is to take centre stage of silverware and competitiveness, I think hes our man. High press, without the suicidal high line of Bielsa or AVB, its a high octane style that would have me off my seat. There's something about his fast, direct and vertical attacking style which seems to transfer so well to English football that gives me hope we wont be incompetent in wining things either.

Basically, none of them are bad options and id welcome them all and none stands out. Even when I'm feeling like just wanting to see an attacking team, I wouldn't say Sampaoli is the absolute stand out, I think Allegri or Conte could achieve that just to the same degree. Similarly, when I want us to focus on being competitive, I don't see Sampaoli as being hopeless. The guy won the Copa America with Chile! Sometimes, theres no reasoning in my mind. I just want Simeone because of the romanticism. Pep at city with the riches of footall and the diamonds of players. Jose at United, with prestige and history. Two juggernauts both in Manchester, you can already see the media acting as if that's the city the title belongs.

In comes Diego Simeone. Chelsea not only cant compete with their financial strength, they don't seem to want to compete within their own means! So we bring in a man that makes a team greater than the sum of its parts and makes it a lion formidable enough to make the badge proud. Not only a team that can go head on with Pep and Jose time after time and get a result, but with a manager that finally brings some thunder back to the bridge, its been long enough.

All I can say, I'm glad I'm not the one who has to decide (even if Simeone says no, how do you choose between Allegri, Conte and Sampaoli?)

Allegri: "When it comes to my future, all will be known in good time. Today what I will say is that I’m happy at Juventus.“ [FFT]

Allegri: "I have a contract here until 2017. We have many important goals to achieve. For the future, we do not talk about anything.“ [FFT]

[Pizy 18,446]

My order of the 4 mentioned would be:

1) Simeone

2) Conte

3) Allegri

4) Sampaoli

Simeone in my opinion would be the only sure thing. He's still a risk as any manager would be, but I feel like we have the kind of squad that would serve as a great base with which to build around. He brings in a few of his type of players and we'll compete for the title next season.

[BleedsBlue 1,549]

Ranieri?

[xPetrCechx 13,563]

 

[PSV 1]

I think The best option for Chelsea is Conte.

Diego Simeone not joins to Chlesea

Express : Chelsea have begun negotiations with Antonio Conte regarding the possibility of the Italy coach taking over from Guus Hiddink after Euro 2016

[Fernando 6,489]

If United get Mourinho I do hope that simeone comes. Because I think he would love the challenge. 

Pep, Mourinho, Wenger, pochetino, klopp and what ever other manager that wants to come. Insane league that would be. 

I would love it if sampaoli and Bielsa comes as well. We will have top coaches managing in this league, would be amazingly hard. Ah one can only dream.

Atletico Madrid are increasingly confident of keeping Diego Simeone as #Chelsea and Man United appeared to soften their interest. [Mirror]

With #Chelsea exploring other options, there's a feeling they aren't fully committed to making Simeone the centre of their project. [Mirror]

With #Chelsea not pulling out all the stops for Simeone, the feeling is now he'll remain in Madrid where he will try to sign Costa. [Mirror]
