Announcement! He’s no longer in line for the feared job” hope is finally here” after the recent bomb shell…
Thomas Frank, Enzo Maresca, and Roberto De Zerbi are all considered by Chelsea to possess the necessary qualities to succeed Mauricio Pochettino; Frank is highly regarded for the work he has done at Brentford, while Maresca is known for his playing style at Leicester.
There are now three candidates remaining for the Chelsea job, and an appointment is anticipated this week. Kieran McKenna is no longer being considered to succeed Mauricio Pochettino. Roberto De Zerbi, Enzo Maresca, and Thomas Frank are the front-runners.
It is believed that all three of the men are qualified for the position. The list indicates a desire to name a dynamic, progressive, and forward-thinking coach who aligns with the club’s values and has high-level English football coaching experience. While Maresca, the manager of Leicester, is liked mostly for his style of play and because he worked with Pep Guardiola at Manchester City, much like Arsenal’s Mikel Arteta, Frank is respected for the work he has done at Brentford.
The two-year contract that Pochettino took last summer will not be renewed by the new Chelsea head coach. Paul Winstanley and Laurence Stewart, the co-sporting directors of Chelsea, have been tasked with creating the final shortlist of suggested applicants. The Chelsea ownership group, which consists of Todd Boehly and co-owner Behdad Eghbali, will ultimately choose the new head coach.
Last summer, Pochettino won the position over Arne Slot and Vincent Kompany. The final shortlist included the three men, and Ange Postecoglou was a strong contender as well. Senior Chelsea officials think the incoming head coach will be the last component to fit into the club’s brand-new, contemporary organizational framework. Chelsea anticipates a hectic summer in the transfer window as players come and go. While top earners like Romelu Lukaku and Kepa Arrizabalaga need to have their futures decided, trading is likely to result in the recruitment of a new No. 9 and center back.
Chelsea is not required to sell homegrown players like Conor Gallagher and Reece James before the end of June, even if they must abide by the Premier League’s financial rules. The signing of Estevao Willian from Palmeiras by Chelsea might cost as much as £42 million. The winger will come to Stamford Bridge after he reaches 18 in the following year, and Chelsea will pay an initial £30 million plus possible add-ons of £12 million.
“After Brentford was turned into a Premier League team on a shoestring, many Chelsea senior members are impressed with the work Thomas Frank has done there. Additionally, they enjoy his demeanor and his effective communication style. In terms of playing style, he is also more flexible. “Compared to someone like Enzo Maresca, he is less dogmatic. Like Arteta, he had no prior managerial experience, but you know precisely what kind of manager you’re going to get.
“The entire time, you’re going to see possession-based football. Chelsea was fond of De Zerbi during his time at Brighton, and because he is no longer there, his benefits would be significantly reduced. “What Chelsea is looking for is a head coach that is content in both their current role and the framework they have established. Someone who aspires to hold authority as an established manager is not appealing to them. “The new coach is the last piece of the jigsaw that the Chelsea owners feel they have assembled, and they hope will be there for the better part of the next ten years. A long-term contract is anticipated for the next coach.”
“After leaving Chelsea, Mauricio Pochettino is eager to get back into the game. It was a cordial farewell from Stamford Bridge. It was just not meant to be. For the owners, finishing sixth is not good enough. They aim to frequently compete for the Premier League title, not just place in the top four. “I don’t believe he truly agreed with what Chelsea’s owners intended to accomplish. He wants to work again, but it’s too soon to discuss specifics since managers who are unemployed will have an intriguing summer.
Chelsea thinks of themselves as a Champions League team. They have failed to reach their goal for a number of reasons. Pochettino is well-liked by the players, supporters, and owners alike, therefore there are no bitter feelings between them. It’s a labor-intensive task. Chelsea’s managers don’t seem to have much time, and it appears that the new ownership is repeating past mistakes.”
