The right Manager for Chelsea

An unhappy Abramovich makes for
a short managerial season.

Since the departure of Jose "The Special One" Mourinho, Chelsea has had difficulties finding the next big name manager. Six managers have now come and gone. Under Roman Abramovich era Chelsea has hired three Italian managers and two Portuguese managers. The most successful one being Jose Mourinho with five trophies in three seasons. Where does Chelsea turn to now? Well, when your're dealing with a demanding owner as Abramovich who is keen on instant results, whomever the manager is it's a very little wiggle room for imperfections. With the kinds of resources the owner provides, he's entitled to see immediate results.


        Well here are the big names rumored for the big job:

Pep Guardiola is a very good fit for Chelsea

Pep Guardiola who has been having issues as of late with Barcelona management and is looking for an exit strategy. Chelsea would definitely be a good fit. I'm sure Abramovich would be excited to see the Barca brand of soccer played in the Barclay's Premier League.



Fabio Capello, who recently ended his reign as England's manager, would sure be intrigued to say the least about the Chelsea job. He has the resume that Abramovich is looking for, but this would be the fourth Italian manager under his ownership. Capello brings a certain level of discipline and immediate respect to the dressing room.

Captain John Terry possible reunion with Fabio Capello.
At Chelsea there is no doubt who the captain is.

Rafa Benitez would be the least likely to fit the owners demanding ways. Benitez didn't have great luck replacing Mourinho at Inter Milan with another flamboyant owner in Massimo Moratti.

Mourinho might wanna block Benitez' chances at Chelsea

Jose Mourinho! Yes The Special One could be headed back to Chelsea. It has been widely rumored that the two had a secret meeting in which they had mutual agreement that Mourinho would be given full control of football operations at Chelsea. That's a dream opportunity for Mourinho who detests working under general managers. In order to return Mourinho must give up his ambitious ways of trying to be the winningest manager to have managed and won in all major leagues. There's nothing wrong with excelling in one league like the great Sir Alex Ferguson. He should build a dynasty at Chelsea FC. Will it ever happen? Time will most certainly tell us all soon.
