JAKARTA - Chelsea boss, Thdd Boehly, officially kicked Mauricio Pochettino out at the end of this season.

Here Are Seven Chelsea Coach Candidates

Kieran McKenna

The former Manchester United assistant has brought Ipswich twice promoted from League One (Championship) to the Premier League (British League).

Hal ini telah membuat namanya meroket dan dia mungkin tergoba untuk terbang ke kapal lain untuk mendapatkan pekerjaan besar.

Roberto De Zerbi

The Italian coach will leave Brighton at the end of this season after a year and a half on duty.

The announcement of both parties officially ended the cooperation on May 18, 2024.

He was then linked with a number of top clubs. However, Chelsea had to compete with Manchester United to get De Zerbi.

You see, the Red Devils threw a signal to stop collaborating with Erik ten Hag.

Enzo Maresca

Maresca is Pep Guardiola's assistant at Manchester City and has performed a miracle at Leicester. He sent the Foxes back to the Premier League next season in the first attempt.

Hansi Flick

Flick is one of the football managers most in demand after winning the Champions League with Bayern Munich.

Then, he moved to lead the German national team in 2021 to replace Joachim Loew. However, his work with Der Panzer was not good enough so he had to be expelled in September 2023.

Now he is ready to come back and can be a smart move for the Blues.

Sebastian Hoeness

Chelsea fans may not have heard of it, but Hoeness is a big manager in Germany.

Hoeness has turned Stuttgart from a relegation candidate to the second best team in the Bundesliga, finishing over Bayern Munich.

Michel Sanchez

Michel Sanchez has performed a miracle with Girona in La Liga Spain for the 2023/2024 season.

The small team was right in La Liga's title race on Christmas before watching Real Madrid fly up and not catch up.

However, they managed to beat Catalan's big team neighbor, Barcelona, to occupy second place in the La Liga standings and guarantee a Champions League ticket next season.

A report in Spain said the feat caught Chelsea's attention.

Jose Mourinho

Mourinho is still praised by fans at Stamford Bridge. He is the most popular choice right now after Chelsea kicked Mauricio Pochettino out.

He won three Premier League titles with the Blues. Jose Mourinho became the public's hope of Stamford Bridge to bring Chelsea back to the top.
