Luis Enrique, Maurizio Sarri and Laurent Blanc. Those are the names that have been linked to the Chelsea job this summer, and the rumors will not end there. There a re a couple more to be roped in as possible managers to take over from Antonio Conte, when he is sacked like the tabloids have had it.
According to Duncan Castles for Yahoo Sport, Chelsea have added Brazil’s head coach Tite and Argentina’s coach Jorge Sampaoli to their shortlist of managers they hope to bring in this summer.
The complication over the Sarri’s deal is still holding off any announcement Chelsea hope to make at this time of the summer. Enrique’s salary demands mean the Chelsea chiefs have been pushed away while Blanc is only an option the Blues hierarchy hope not to seal.
After Real Madrid announced the capture of Spain manager Julen Lopetegui on Tuesday, it may have opened up the idea of signing coaches heading to the World Cup and Chelsea have been quickly roped in.
The Blues are said to be monitoring the situations with both attack-styled managers and would want to sign one of them if the Sarri deal finally falls through.
