Pundit suggests Chelsea get back former manager. Chelsea should employ Jose Mourinho as manager once more and choose John Terry as his assistant, according to BeIN Sports presenter Richard Keys.
Since Todd Boehly and Behdad Eghbali became co-owners in May 2022, the Blues are currently looking for their third permanent head coach. Graham Potter took Thomas Tuchel’s position after his firing in September of last year.
The previous manager of Brighton & Hove Albion, though, was fired after only six months at Stamford Bridge. Since then, Frank Lampard has been named Chelsea’s interim manager for the remainder of the year. Lampard shouldn’t, in Keys’ opinion, remain on the coaching staff.
The West Londoners have been persuaded by him to think about Terry becoming Mourinho’s assistant and reappointing Mourinho: “Jose Mourinho with John Terry serving as his assistant would be my preference. Chelsea supporters would believe it, and I believe Mourinho would have the fortitude to resolve everything. He remains the Unique One.
Keys went on to refer to Mourinho’s work at his current team, AS Roma. “Look at what he’s doing at Roma – they’re third in Serie A, and they’ve already won a trophy and are on course to win another one this season,” the Portuguese coach said after leading I Lupi to the first-ever UEFA Europa Conference League victory last season.
Despite having a deal with Roma through 2024, Mourinho hasn’t ruled out departing in the past. During his two stints at Stamford Bridge, the renowned coach was a huge hit. He captured the FA Cup once, three League Cups, and three Premier Leagues. Terry is now Dean Smith’s assistant at Leicester City, however, his contract expires after the current campaign.
Given their failures this season, Chelsea is in dire need of a revamp. They are now ranked 11th in the league and have been eliminated from all cup events. Only seven games remain, and the Blues are 17 points outside the top four.
Luis Enrique is no longer thought of as the top prospect for the Chelsea position:
According to reports, Luis Enrique, the former manager of Barcelona, is no longer a top candidate to follow Potter at Stamford Bridge. The Spaniard spoke with the Blues about the opening, but it seems he didn’t persuade them sufficiently.
According to The Evening Standard, Enrique and former Bayern Munich manager Julian Nagelsmann were expected to be in a two-horse race. He is now thought to be an outsider, nevertheless.
Enrique’s track record speaks for itself; with Barcelona, he won two La Liga championships and the UEFA Champions League. After leading Spain to the round of 16 at the Qatar 2022 FIFA World Cup, he resigned from his position as manager.
