As you know Brendan Rodgers isn't Leicester's manager anymore after having a really poor season. Right now it isn't known who will be their next manager yet. Graham Potter has been speculated with them first. But according to the news he isn't interested in a job offer until the summer for now. Actually it would have been a good choice for Potter to manage Leicester. Because I believe Potter is just the man for average teams in the Premier League. Because you have all seen what did with Brighton.

He impressed people with his performance there first and it was the most helpful thing for him to be Chelsea's manager in the first place. He couldn't do well there though but it looks like smaller teams are a better match for him to shine.

Saltor is only temporary because his job is identical as an assistant coach from 2011. Well, I think this week Chelsea will announce a new coach and among them the name Nagelsmann appears as the leading coach who will train Chelsea for the rest of this season and also for next season which of course depends of the contract he received later.

we are still waiting for an update from fabrizio regarding this matter because in some recent tweets from him Nagelsmann is the front favorite to coach chelsea.

the first half chelsea vs liverpool ended in a draw no goals were created. we will see who will come out victorious in this match but i think liverpool will win this match.

Regardless of their decision to look for a new coach or not, I don't think this will add much potential to face Madrid. The conditions are still the same even with Interim coach Bruno Saltor or indeed bringing in a new coach, they still need more adaptation so this doesn't really determine what I think.
On the other hand, bringing in a coach also needs consideration and Todd must realize that a rash decision "again" will not go well for them.

Its a shame finally seeing Brendan Rodgers parting ways with Liecester, I can’t blame the club because at this stage the fear of getting relegated is intense and with 10 games left, only improvement is expected to escape relegation and the team is still struggling to win games. Surely the board of directors have lost faith in Brendan Rodgers who has failed to turn the situation around.

I don't think Bruno Saltor is going to be the permanent main coach. I believe that Chelsea is actually going to change the main coach. They are going to get someone else. They have already downgraded from Thomas Tuchel to Potter. That was not a good idea. Now I believe they have learned their lesson.

Now they already understand that it is not going to be any improvement for the new coach this season. So probably they are waiting to find the best coach and get ready for the next season. Because probably bringing a new coach right now is not going to help too much.

Since there is not much time for Chlesea to choose a coach because they are going to face Real Madrid in a hard match and they don't have a good position on the table, I guess choosing a good coach at this time can be hard for them but at this moment there are some unemployed coaches like Conte and Nagelsmann and I think Conte can be a good option for then because he was working on Premier league until a few weeks ago.

Do you think that the appointment of a coach can somehow change the balance of power in a pair of Real - Chelsea? I highly doubt it, it seems to me that even if Zidane, Mourinho, Ancelotti and anyone else advise Chelsea at the same time, Chelsea will still remain an underdog. At the moment, Chelsea's management is doing the right thing - they don't need to make an urgent, ill-considered decision. They need to hire a coach who will definitely work for several years.

The latest rumors report that Manchester United are interested in signing Leverkusen's right-back Jeremie Frimpong. As we now know, Erik ten hag seems to doubt Diogo Dalot's performance to fill the right-back position, but actually he still has Wan Bissaka who is performing quite well. However, if you look at the market value, the actual price is still relatively cheap and can be reached by the red devils. Could this be a good option in the summer transfer market for Manchester United?

Well i don't think age comes into the equation at all, managers aren't players, so they can stay in the dugout for quite a very long time, if they choose to; if Chelsea want to sign Nagelsmann, it is because of what they think he can bring to the football club in terms of footballing philosophy, good tactics, winning mentality, et cetera, they are definitely not looking at his age. BTW, he was doing very well at Bayern, he didn't fail imo, the club basically just wanted a change of manager for other reasons.
Reliable sources keep on mentioning Nagelsmann, so i'd say it's almost 70% that it would be him, but who knows, talks can break down at anytime in football, and then only would their attention shift elsewhere.

Nagelsmann's name has emerged as the strongest candidate to become a Chelsea coach, apart from Luis Enrique.  according to some rumors that I read, reflecting on Graham Potter's failure, Nagelsmann gave conditions to Chelsea. Reported by The Times, it is reported that Nagelsmann is also interested in accepting the job from Chelsea at this time. however, he includes conditions that must be met by the Blues. These conditions include the amount of authority that you will get if you become a coach and what Chelsea's long-term plans are. also, considering Potter's dismissal. Nagelsmann asked for guarantees of how much authority he would gain while coaching Chelsea. But, I'm not too sure about the legitimacy of this rumor.

However, if speaking from my personal perspective. I would agree that Nageslmann is the most ideal coach for Chelsea. it's just that, at least it takes time for Nagelsmann to bring Chelsea much better than now. I mean, to make the ideal team according to what the fans want. at least, Nagelsmann needs process. But, let's see which coach is willing to become the new Chelsea boss.

Now that Potter has been sacked and the wish of many Chelsea supporters have been fulfilled, we shall see how well the team will perform in their next games. I’m a little disappointed hearing Bruno Saltor is taking over from Graham Potter, what could Bruno Saltor possibly bring to the table at this time? Chelsea needs a good coach ASAP to bring a change in the team's performance. Chelsea will be facing Real Madrid with Bruno Saltor in control if they haven't found a suitable replacement for Potter yet. I am doubtful Bruno has enough experience to succeed against the experienced Ancelloti when they face Real Madrid.

Nagelsmann is younger than Ronaldo, and I think Messi as well? Maybe just a bit older than Messi. Dude is too young and he was given a huge task and him failing at that (which I would say not even failing) is alright, and Chelsea should be happy to have him. At that age, if he can get some success here and there, dude could become the Sir Alex Ferguson of Chelsea by that logic, he can manage a team for 30+ years based on his age, not saying he would, but that's a thing you can't find in any other manager. Aside from Nagelsmann, there is Luiz Enrique, and Pochettino, those are the top 3 ones, I doubt they would go for anyone else.

Julian Nagelsmann's figure is indeed good enough for Chelsea. but would he be available to coach Chelsea? these rumors existed even after his dismissal from Munich. Chelsea does have to find a head coach soon, but they don't need to be in too much of a rush for this.
but in my opinion, Chelsea will not sign Julian Nagelsmann. I may be wrong, but that's just my guess.

Zidane had only one team on his mind and it was the France national team but after the post world comments by the federation president, Zizou is prioritizing other options but i hadly doubt he will be coming to England so soon. Zidane doesn’t speaks English and that is a very huge barrier for him, moreover it is likely that both Madrid and PSG are monitoring his situation with Perez the Madrid chairman still keen of bringing him back to coach Los Blancos as the rumors are getting string of Ancelloti potentially leaving for Brazil national team. PSG also will do with an experience coach at this time and Zidane could be their target as well.

Mourinho is also a candidate to replace Potter at Chelsea but one thing remains that Chelsea are currently in search of a coach that would stay for a longer time to bring out the potential in this young squad and we all know Mou isn’t that coach. Two to three season now Mou might want to switch clubs and that will be bad for Chelsea.

The clear candidates in this tussle to be Chelsea coach is clear between Nagelsmann, Luiz Enrique and Pochettinho. This three coaches have the ability to bring out the best in young players and also can offer longevity. When we analyze there success then Enrique comes out at the top after is success at Barcelona. B

Tuchel was asked in an interview whether he could recommend Nagelsmann to go to Chelsea if that became an option and Tuchel said that he used to love the club, but since the new owner overtook it is not the Chelsea anymore that it used to be. I think there is a lot between the lines and I do indeed think that it is not necessarily a very fun job. In the end it's probably the money that counts. If they offer Nagelsmann 12 million a season or even more, it is hard to see how he will decline that offer unless he is getting offered a position from Real Madrid. There is some movement in the market when it comes to manager positions. If Ancelotti has to go at the end of the season, there will be a lot of interesting decisions. There is also Zidane who is available and willing to take on a role in some club .

Julian Nagelsmann is the right coach for Chelsea. He was just sacked from Bayern Munich, and we know his abilities at Bayern Munich were able to bring Bayern Munich to the UCL Quarter-Finals. It's just that it doesn't suit Bayern Munich anymore, not because of Bayern Munich's declining performance. We know how Julian Nagelsmann brought PSG to their knees in the last 16 of the UCL. Is it something easy? Of course not. He was able to beat the king of france.

I'm surprised Zidane still isn't keen on facing a big club in the Premier League, and if it's Chelsea he's in charge, we can at least see a good game. Despite Zidane's disinterest, I think he prefers to remain silent. Ancelotti is still comfortable at Real Madrid and his contract is still long. Graham Potter is gone for us to mention, maybe the coach option Todd Boehly wants is someone he can control. It's not like when Tuchel was there but seeing Todd Boehly's selection of Potter should be a lesson that the results are always abysmal.

Chelsea are desperate and its understandable especially when CL is up ahead and they are to face Spanish giants Real Madrid. Squad needs someone to manage them well and set the squad up before the game. Nagelsmann is the only one which is reported to be close to fill the vacant spot of head coach at Chelsea : https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1643283562362200067  and it seems to me that Nagelsmann is likely to be the next one managing Chelsea now. No contacts with Pochetinno so Nagelsmann is the likely one.

Since the gap between chelsea to the top 4 is too good to be true to be achieved at the end of season and i will say that if chelsae needs to win all of the matches until the last match in EPL to enter into the top 4. This is the most impossible thing to happen with chelsea in current form. There will be some difficult matches to come at the end of season as well. The only main target by chelsea to secure UCL spot through winning the UCL competition this time. This looks like an impossible thing for chelsea caused by it will be facing real madrid but who knows?
Chelsea is trying so hard to get a good coach.
Just hope that todd will not make another blunder again like when chelsea was signing potter as a coach and then sacked him after 7 months of work. Zidane has already been removed from the list of a new coach for chelsea.
Naglesmann and enrique are the most potential coaches that have been linked to chelsea. Chelsea needs to focus in upcoming match against liverpool.

There is nothing new in all of these emergency sacks, people have left dream teams freely or forcefully, and the teams still continued to perform admirably. Before Erik Ten arrived at Manchester United, the assistant coach was doing fairly toward the end of the season even though they didn't finish first in the league. However, after Erik was brought in, things turned around for them, and I believe Chelsea is currently having a similar situation. To avoid repeating the same mistake they did with Graham Potter, they should take their time and give the club the best coach that will transform the players.
