We asked for your views on who Chelsea should be looking to appoint as their next permanent manager, following Enzo Maresca and Liam Rosenior’s sackings this season.
Here are some of your suggestions:
Ben: Cesc Fabregas should be given a chance. He is already proving that he is a good manager and he knows the club well.
Stevie: I would love Cesc Fabregas or Diego Simeone but, to be honest, the ownership will have made a lot of managers wary of the job. Marco Silva or Oliver Glasner might be the best we can hope for. They should’ve given the interim job to John Terry, but we know they don’t want anything to do with the old club.
Pete: Frank Lampard with John Terry his defensive coach – it’s time for them to make us great again.
Ross: Personally, I think Eddie Howe would be ideal. He has done all he can with Newcastle, plus he has European and trophy-winning experience. But we will need to give him time!
Andy: Whoever is selected must be allowed to have greater control with regards to buying, selling and player rotation. Otherwise, the merry-go-round will continue and Chelsea will continue to spiral. At the moment, it is akin to driving with the handbrake on and not understanding why the car isn’t moving forward.
John: If the owners are considering changing their ways, why not bring back Enzo Maresca? The players liked him and, while his style wasn’t thrilling, he was effective, we won trophies and we even scored the occasional goal.
Allison: Emma Hayes! She can’t do any worse than what some of the previous managers have done. Personally, I would’ve never have sacked Thomas Tuchel. I also believe John Terry needs a bigger role within the first team, his heart is pure blue.
Marvo: The best candidate would Xabi Alonso. His style of play will suit a lot of our current players, but I doubt he would be interested in the job. The owners have created so much chaos.
Chris: Chelsea will be linked with various big managerial candidates over the coming months but, with BlueCo pulling the strings, we will end up with another mediocre ‘yes-man’ who will be gone in six months.
