Five candidates to be Chelsea’s next manager – and one coach who won’t take the job
Next Chelsea manager: The candidates in the mix to replace Liam Rosenior
Chelsea are searching for their next permanent manager after sacking Liam Rosenior, here are five potential candidates to replace him...
- Filipe Luis - The former Chelsea star won multiple trophies at Flamengo before being sacked last month, but it would be a gamble to bring him in due to his lack of experience coaching in Europe.
- Andoni Iraola - After thriving at Bournemouth over the last three seasons, Iraola could make the move to west London, but it has been reported that he is keen to return to Spain this summer for family reasons.
- Cesc Fabregas - Another ex-Chelsea player who has impressed during his time in Serie A with Como, although Chelsea may be concerned about potentially appointing another manager who is learning on the job.
- Marco Silva - The Portuguese boss has been tipped to move on from Fulham for a while, and this summer could be the time he decides to leave Craven Cottage if Chelsea come calling.
- Xabi Alonso - His time at Real Madrid did not go to plan but Alonso proved his coaching ability at Bayer Leverkusen and seems destined to get another big job in the near future.
