Official - AVB confirmed as Chelsea boss

[LDN Blue 7,903]

Chelsea rebuffed in initial approach for Pellegrini

I dont know how credible these sites are. but......

I hope we've never even mentioned his name :\

The only La Liga coach (except Pep & Mourinho) I'd want us linked with is Quique Sánchez Flores

[Henrique 9,133]

Bulshit. Its his agent trying to say: "hey, look, Pelligrini is a manager that Chelsea is looking for".

When Scolari was sacked his agent claimed that Juvetus was interested, but it was a lie to say that despite being sacked by Chelsea, he was still wanted by great clubs in Europe.

[Henrique 9,133]

Another bullshit are the news claiming Abramovich want Mourinho back. I hope we'll announce our new manager soon, to avoid this kind of silly speculation.

Haha no. Sorry Peleg.

[Term-X 7,891]

Van Basten is a ridiculous idea

Indeed.

officialAndrevi Andre Villas-Boas @rioferdy5 good luck for the Champions League final hope to play against your team next season That account isn't even confirmed, very little chance it's his, look at Ferdinands, Rooneys and Maloudas there all certified and confirmed with blue ticks so you know it's them.

He guided Madrid to 97 points, more than any premiership side has ever got, would Pellegrini actually be that bad?

whats wrong with pellegrini as our next coach...he plays attractive footy and didnt do that badly at madrid. he is a better coach than quique sanchez flores. unai emery is a good coach too...he is doin rather well with a depleted valencia side and is young

"The same thing couldn't happen with me that happened with Pellegrini because if Madrid fires me I won't go coach Malaga, I'd go to a big club in England or Italy. I'd have no problem going back to coaching a big club," Mourinho said.

Love Mourinho

Nah, I don't like his management style. Doesn't get the balance right in my opinion, not just talking Real Madrid either.

Sanchez is a great coach, quite underrated. Hasn't done that well this season, but a very good coach regardless. He's also quite available right now too.. :eyebrows:

Martin O'Neill, Moyes or Redknapp

my thoughts exactly......and barca only got 99 points that season...personally id take pellegrini or emery from la liga

He can't handle big names & egos.

Under him Ronaldo was a child. In came Mourinho and you see a new side of Ron. Pellegrini can't keep the dressing room on side & with our team, that's something you need. That's why Hiddink is my selection. He showed he can assert his authority without pissing off the players, he doesn't shout, he's a passive motivator.

I have feeling that our next coach will be Guardiola.

maybe overrated...you do know that valencia, benfica and atletico all got weaker under him rite?.....no suprise hes out of a job really...unai is a better manager....pellegrini villareal was an amazing team to watch

He's out of a job because he quit

Season before he guided them to Europa League triumph remember?

Benfica were very harsh to him, they only gave him 1 season at the helm, where he'd only lost like 10 games. They should've given him a better chance I think.

Pellegrini is not a good choice imo. He's too weak in character, he'd bottle under the egos of players like Drogba and Malouda (should they still be there).

honestly wont mind that....barca became more defensively sound with him at the helm and the pressed better

didnt flores quit cuz he couldnt handle forlan?...maybe he is too weak a character too.....wat do u think of unai emery tho?

Touche. That's what he said, but I think it goes higher up than that, if you know what I mean.

I didn't really follow him with Almeria but I respect him for what he's done at Valencia. After they sold Villa & Silva I thought they'd crumble, they did well to keep on Juan Mata, who could've easily signed for Barcelona. So for him to take them to a 3rd place finish is very commendable considering those 2 big losses to his squad.

I don't think he's Chelsea material yet though. I want to see 1 more season from him, he's stayed consistent though, that's a very positive thing.

[eldo 868]

Meh, it's not that he'll do much with Porto in the Champions League anyway. It's the Champions League we're talking about with top clubs like Chelsea, Manchester United, Barcelona, Real Madrid, Milan, Inter, Bayern Munich etc, not a mediocre competition with the likes of Braga, Dynamo Kiev etc.

Football is unpredictable.

Villas-Boas is the best out there.

Mourinho will stay at Madrid for long time.

If we want someone who will work with younger players then van Gaal is the name.Not that AVB doesn't do that, JR is developing well. But van Gaal has good record.
