The Next Manager?

whats this obsession with fabregas?

[Pizy 19,304]

My worry with Cesc would be that something similar to Lampard would happen. Once the initial feel good factor wears off and he’s got to manage a massive club against elite managers and opponents in a super high pressure environment, he could be exposed as the relative novice that he is.

For me, I feel like our next manager MUST be someone with lots of experience at a high level.

Cesc wouldnt win too much respect for what he's done as a coach thus far but he has the charisma and due to his skill and experiences as a player and captain he knows what it takes to be a top player.

Iraolo has more coaching experience,good record developing talent and generally getting the maximum out of players,good balance between nurturing and tough love.also I thought previously he would just go back to Spain.but I've read he actually has a desire to stay in Prem and relocate to London.

Those 2 I think would be the best we could get.

Silva seems an option but despite an upgrade over majority of recent hires. Despite his much longer experience he is the king of the low expectations family clubs.

Very much a vibes pick. Seems like a bad idea with our unstable squad right now.

But Cesc has a lot more experience than Lampard did - he's been going up against Gasperini, Allegri in the Serie A and holding his own. Also, Como are pretty well run and have signed a lot of foreign players through talent IDing - pretty much doing a good version of our operation on a much lower scale and budget.

Don’t know, seems more likely he stays at Como than comes here. He has some sense. Believe he turned down the Inter Milan job previously.

I wouldn’t be surprised if he does another 12-24 months at Como before leaving. For a better job than here. They are pushing very hard for European football this season and were unlucky not to make the cup final. The progression has been huge since getting promoted. If they get European football why would he want to give that up to come to a team that could still finish in the bottom half of the table 😂

Plus in all likelihood, even if he did consider it, the managers job here will be available again at least twice over the next 18-24 months. Lets not get our hopes up that this shower of useless cunts will make the right appointment. They haven’t done anything to convince anyone otherwise.

I don’t think the head coach role here will ever be something that will pass certain people by with these owners, whereas before with Roman, it definitely would’ve. We are going to keep hiring amateurs because it is run by amateurs. So inevitably they will keep having to look for new managers.

It feels like the obvious choice to stay at Como and build towards an opening at a big club but there's no telling that Como keep up their progress and no telling whether Cesc as coach stays hot for another 2 years. 

Most coaches fired by Chelsea will face no trouble bouncing back because you can always show clubs that you've got the chops and you were hamstrung by the owners. Maresca is an early favorite for the City job, Tuchel managed Bayern and England, even Potter got a gig with Sweden and guided them to the WC.

🚨 Xabi Alonso would be a popular pick with supporters, but i have no knowledge of him being an option at this stage. 

Chelsea have made it clear for a preference of premier league experience with players this summer, and it would not be surprise me if the same applied to the new manager search. 

Eddie Howe cannot be ruled out, alongside options like Iraola and Silva.

(@NizaarKinsella)

[mkh 774]

❌️Sebastian Kehl is in advanced talks to join Spurs as sporting director, as @Plettigoal called. 

Kehl is currently the leading candidate. 

Paul Winstanley was approached by headhunters as part of the process.

(@BenJacobs)

Paul stays🙂‍↕️🫨

[DDA 10,263]

Why do they keep mentioning Marco Silva..

Ridiculous

[mkh 774]

🗯🔵In the next days I would expect conversations between Chelsea & representatives of candidates & then in the weeks ahead they’ll be asking clubs for permission to potentially speak to them.

The process will accelerate towards the end of the season and I do expect an appointment early in the summer

(@David_Ornstein)

📋🔵That means it will be someone who is currently still under contract with another club!!

❌️Xavi now available!

❌️Xabi Alonso now available!

❌️Filipe Luis now available!

❌️Edin Terzic A.Bilbao✅️

I think it could be one of these:

-Fabregas (2028)✅️
-Nagelsmann (2028)✅️
-Lampard (2027)✅️
-Iraola (2026)✅️
-Jaissle (2027)✅️
-Farioli (2028)✅️
-Marco Silva (2026)✅️
-Howe (2027)✅️
-Glasner (2026)✅️
-McKenna (2028)✅️

On the one hand it’s obviously smart to wait until after the season to assess more options. But on the other you risk having unexpected competition for your main choices if some other huge jobs suddenly come open. 

If United decide they don’t want to keep Carrick. If Arse complete the meltdown and finish 2nd for the 4th straight season will Arteta be safe? They may feel he’s taken them as far as he can. Pep could leave City. Slot doesn’t exactly feel like a complete lock in his position.

Wont sign players with PL experience so instead scraping the barrel for managers with PL experience. Saying that he’d of been a better appointment than Potter & Rosenoir. And be better than some of the names linked but again, mediocre.

True but I think the ambition & progress at Como is more realistic as well as achievable. Plus he will have plenty of options I would think.

The point I was more making is the job here will not be as attractive or difficult to get, the calibre of managers we have appointed since BlueCo came in has fallen considerably from the level we were previously appointing. The frequency we are appointing them too, it will be alarming for any candidates being considered.

Given how these are running the club, the trajectory, continued poor recruitment, potential financial situation etc, they will probably keep feeding head coaches to the wolves whilst the sporting directors will never be held accountable. They are one of the biggest problems at the club: they have completely bluffed their way into this se roles and the owners are blindsided/deluded/too stupid to see they are not cut out for it. Serious managers will not want to work with them/within this model.

FRANK LAMPARD TO BECOME NEW Chelsea MANAGER? | Chelsea'S NEXT MANAGER
George Benson Football Chelsea

Chelsea news today see's us break down the latest Chelsea news headlines regarding who will become the next permanent Chelsea manager. Cesc Fabregas, Andoni Iraola and Frank Lampard are currently rumored favorites to become next Chelsea manager! Who would you want to be the next Chelsea manager?

[Pizy 19,304]

I pray that Lamps isn’t actually on the list for consideration. He’s one of my favorite ever players but I just don’t think he is Chelsea manager level still. He’s at the perfect sort of club right now. We’ve tried the experiment a couple of times now and it hasn’t worked out.
