Official - AVB confirmed as Chelsea boss

[HRiver 1,512]

God, anyone but Van Basten or Benitez from that list. I hope Roman isn't that stupid.

[Naked Mole Rat 437]

whoever willing to work for the least amount of pay so Roman won't have to pay too much compensation

[Tortilla9 390]

Rumors about Harry.... the only positive is the media absolutely freakin' loves him. Maybe they'd quit bashing Chelsea at every opportunity if their media golden boy, Harry, was calling in to Talksport and whatever else it is Harry does.

[Hysteria 159]

Villa Boas please.

[Guest justin_3d]

Well my candidate Marcelo Bielsa seems to be going to Sevilla, since Sevilla just made an offer to him, and are awaiting confirmation.

He's going to start Lamps every game, and I don't know if that's a good idea at this point of Frank's career

[BLionheart 516]

Who should be our new coach ?

Me , alongside with a lot of members here don't have a clue about those names !!!

Boas record has been very impressive with porto but can he do the same with chelsea , Don't Know !

Hiddink had a great success with the club but will he be available and is he willing to get back to club management !

Mourinho is absolutely the one to lead a sinking ship but i think he is busy saving another sinking one , will he be back !

Van basten has not proved if he is a great coach or not yet , so for me he is a hit and miss !

Biesla same as van basten

My point is may be i don't know who should be in charge next season , but one thing i am damn sure about is that Carlo Ancelotti was not the man to lead chelsea to glory not with his tactical non-sense , and his 33 , 35 years old players , he is a great man and quiet a decent guy but it takes a lot more to become a winning manager in the elite of world football clubs.

ATM i am more worried about summer additions than our new manager , who ever comes in will need to add new , young , fresh players . 2 wingers is must and a play-maker is much needed .also a lot of players has to be sold/released .

[TIWATZ 64]

I would like to see Hiddink come in for a year or two and then move up to the Director of Football position so that we can get Andre villa boas!

[gary gordon 1,777]

Couldn't care less... As bad as Chelsea played this season all the blame has once again fallen on one man.. Changes need to be made within the ranks.. A very sad day for our club..

[teignman 441]

Didn't want Carlo to go, and thought the whole thing was unduly harsh. Out of all the candidates, I like Villas-Boas most. However, I think it would be tough to mix him in with an experienced team on such a big stage. Whomever it is, they need to be given some autonomy to run the team as they see fit. Just sign the checks Roman! Leave the rest to the lifelong football men.

[Melanicus 5,208]

Absolutly Guus Hiddink, remember what has he done, when ne was manager?

[Tomo 21,751]

Going to put £5 on Rafa Benitez becoming next Chelsea manager so if it does end up happening atleast ill get some compensation for having to watch cautious dross all next season.

[TotallySnivy 3]

Probably Hiddink. And Zola as assistant manager.

But honestly, I want Carlo back. The man won us the double last season. It was disgraceful to hear the website talking about how he isn't good enough.

[Milan 17,963]

Sir Alex

[GodZola 630]

Imho I think Hiddink will be back as Director of football with Franco joining in some sort of capacity as coach, this will atleast start to appease some of the fans that have become disillusioned with Ancelotti being sacked & the timing surrounding it.

The difficult one is who Roman will install as our new manager. My first choice would be Jose, the guy built most of the foundations for our recent success but the one attribute he possesses more than anything else is that he will not stand for any interference whatsoever, we need a man that has his own identity & will not be undermined. Roman now has to realise that his meddling in team affairs just doesn't work so in order to move forward him & his henchmen need keep their unwanted noses out.

I don't think Jose will return for several reasons, so the next best available is Boas, I've not just been impressed with the way his teams play & the success but also the way he has come out & said that he is own man with his own ideals & not of Jose's mould. With Hiddink & Zola alongside him he could really make an impression & could bring the stability that is needed. At 33 he has years ahead of him.

[BlueLion. 21,491]

I still don't care who comes in, they'll be gone as soon as they have a trophyless season.

If anyone, I want it to be Hiddink, because of his popularity. No to Mourinho, he's the past now.
