They have Frank on the shortlist. He's a decent enough manager but fucking hell, getting rid of Poch and looking at the likes of him. What an utterly mismanaged club that is.
What has the universe got to do with it? You're here in Brooklyn! Brooklyn is not expanding!

Chelsea tonight asking Leicester for permission to speak to Enzo Maresca.  ;D
I hope he asks for an eight year contract

I said the same at the bottom of the previous page. Obviously his age would mean that he would only get a short term contract but it would still be enough for him to transform their team.

Yeah, if he was younger he'd have been at the top of the list for a lot of clubs - maybe even us! He's done an incredible job with Atalanta.

I think De Zerbi will get the job. And someone like him would get more out of Enzo and Caicedo.

He's had a total of 67 games as a manager, 14 of them as manager of Parma with a 28.57% win rate.
So most of his overall wins at 59.70/67.92% were with Leicester in the Championship, and that's enough for him to get the Chelsea gig?

Absolute madness from an absolutely mad club.

Allegedly Pochetino was sacked because he wanted control over signings and those in charge didn't like that.
So I'm guessing the main reason they are going for him is because he will be a Yes man.

Stil madness though. Can only see it end poorly. Can't wait  ;D

This is just another example of the owners not understanding football isn't it? They've just seen he's managed to win the Championship with Leicester and assumed he must be a good manager? Not taking into account that Leicester should have absolutely won that league regardless of their manager, and it probably ended up closer than it ever should have been.

Kompany to Bayern (far bigger club).

Enzo Maresca is the sort of managerial signing they'd make in the 90s. Just a return to form for them.

Might as well bring Di Matteo back at this rate.

I’m presuming it’s that combined with he’s worked with Pep so they are expecting him to be in the same vein and him and Arteta. Pretty laughable really.

It's like Kompany and Burnley. Blitz The Championship playing like City but only because they've got better players and a far bigger budget than almost everyone else in the league. Then Burnley come up and play the same way and get embarrassed every week (despite spending a lot more than the other promoted teams).

But is Chelsea the club to even play that slow, possession style anyway? Or more to the point given the time to make it work like Pep and Arteta were. It took Arteta 2-3 seasons to get it right.

When they've done well it's mostly been built on more defensive and counter attacking tactics like Mourinho (x2), Tuchel and Conte.

As I posted above though Arteta was given the time to implement his ideas as well. Arteta finished 8th in his first full season - Maresca wouldn't survive that. It also took him 3 seasons to get them back in the CL.

And they already had a manager who plays the right way and develops young players. Getting rid of poch and hiring maresca is very odd.
