The Next Manager?

[Beepu 1,714]

Maybe Benitez doesn't actually need to leave...? Mou could still come in though; hear me out:

As we know, Mourinho is wanted 'home' by most of us. He plays attractive football with steel, flair, and solid foundations. He often has a key player (Drogba, Sneijder, Ronaldo) and his next key player could be Hazard. We already know he can do the business here, so bring him in.

Benitez isn't all bad though.

Once I heard our players were eating fry-ups before most games I was rather shocked. I thought pro athletes would be getting a bit better nutrition!

As the FSW, I'm sure Benitez specialises in rice, pasta & seafood dishes; all of which would give our players a good physical boost with a mix of carbs (rice, pasta) & protein with healthy fats in the seafood.

So with Mourinho appointed manager, perhaps Benitez could become Head Chef or Chief of Nutrition? Worth some thought.

Maybe only for Oscar and Mceachran....

I don't know but Pellegrini just seem too nice of a manager for me. Doesn't seem to have that ruthless nature/streak about him to really change things or make decisive changes etc.

Pellegrini is near the top of the list because of lack of choice. But that doesn't take away his achievements or that he is a good footballing 'coach'.

Klopp won't leave Dortmund. Loew won't leave Germany till 2014 WC. Hiddink's retiring. There are reports that Frank de Boer will be offered a new deal

It's realistically down to the likes of Pellegrini, Moyes, Capello, Roberto Martinez if Jose deal doesn't happen

edit: in reference to "too nice of a manager" , There are examples on the contrary you know? Pellegrini dropped Riquelme - probably Villarreal's greatest ever player, and eventually transferred him out of the club. At Real, he dropped Raul. Both were quite decisive actions

Recently, more & more I read about the old man Pellegrini.

Those rumors, Chelsea have opened talks with his representatives are reported by several UK papers.

At 59 year old, is he not too old for these young high paid footballers ?

I know, he has coached REAL, Villareal...but....?

As we all know, financial problems at Malaga has led to a club ban from Europe next season.

What are Chelsea getting here, a gold digger ?

The Telegraph has picked this story up this morning

Wouldn't look too much into it, but he wouldn't be a bad option.

Does Pellegrini even speak english?

Does Pellegrini even speak english?

Yes. Quite Fluently

But any manager coming in here (other than Jose) will have one hand tied behind the back. Firstly, he should get instant results --->atleast a title challenge next season. that's why i worry for the club if we don't get Jose

[Special Juan 28,089]

He looks far too much like Wenger.

[bushman 2,043]

Wouldn't look too much into it, but he wouldn't be a bad option.

Can you tell us a bit more why ?

[NiclasCFC 2,582]

Can you tell us a bit more why ?

Because WHS told us José is coming home

[bushman 2,043]

Because WHS told us José is coming home
