Official - AVB confirmed as Chelsea boss

[ChelseaFanUK 1,014]

Mark Hughes is now evens for Chelsea job. Guss has drifted, albeit to 11/8. It was only day before yesterday I said to a mate there is no way Hughes walked out on Fulham without something lined up. Didnt think it could be us!

Guus stories from his agent are worrying, with regards to his agent saying same thing when Hiddink took CFC job in 09, back then Guus said the dual role of national and club manager was possible (he didnt leave Russia job if you remember), this time he has definitely ruled it out.

Mark Hughes to Chelsea will be as effective as Steve McClaren's faliure as England manager!

Just imagine if we sign Neymar, Lukaku, and other top players along with Hiddink or whoever the new coach is, on transfer deadline day. If I'm not mistaken, it's on 31 August. We'd have to wait some good 3 months then.

Hughes' agent, Kia Joorabchian, said that Mark would be interested in coaching Chelsea, where he played three seasons as a player. Good or bad?

Back on topic, i'd be very surprised if Guus isn't appointed new manager by next weekend.

On topic : I don't think Hughes as assistant would be a good move. i don't believe coaches of his caliber are able to stay under the command of another coach.

This just proves that talk about having decided about sacking Carlo even if he won the league and having someone in mind midway through the season was bollocks.

Had that been the case, we would have announced a new manager by now. We're fumbling in the dark once again. Typical Chelsea.

Either that or the man they had lined up has had second thoughts.

No. Next manager will be Hiddink. His agent is talking bollocks, he will be our next manager in July. It wanst official yet because they are probably resolving things with Turkirsh Federation.

I'd welcome Sparky tbh, He's the type of person that wouldn't start players because of their names, He'd give youth a chance, He's English, and If Roman tried to interfere with the team he wouldn't have it. Already has the respect of the players and fans, and its a big chance for him to show the world what he could do.

garbosj Ian McGarry Talks between Hiddink and #CFC and Turkish Football Federation are on going. No final agreement reached as yet.

garbosj Ian McGarry Hiddink as DoF and Van Basten as coach was the option for some time. Since, MvB chances are reduced. Roman wants Guus to coach. GH undecided

garbosj Ian McGarry OK. Here the story: Roman wants Hiddink to coach. Guus is unsure and would possibly prefer DoF. That conversation remains unresolved. #CFC

[Henrique 9,133]

Whos gonna be the coach if Hiddink decides to be DoF ? It seems his wife doesnt want him as a club manager.

He's Welsh.
