Chelsea has Frank, McKenna, De Zerbi, and Maresca on its list.
Chelsea’s final shortlist for a new head coach comprises Frank, McKenna, Maresca, and De Zerbi, indicating a preference for a progressive coach.
De Zerbi, noted for his appealing playing style and youth development, distinguishes out among Chelsea’s possibilities due to his Premier League experience.
The club’s choice to choose a new head coach will have a significant impact on the team’s future Champions League hopes.
Chelsea is in the process of narrowing down its managerial choices and has compiled a shortlist that contains some potential candidates. According to Sky Sports writer Kaveh Solhekol, the main prospects include Thomas Frank, Enzo Maresca, Kieran McKenna, and Roberto De Zerbi.
As Chelsea prepares to hire a new head coach in the near future, the final selection will most likely be based on who best matches the club’s structure and long-term strategy. Mauricio Pochettino was able to turn things around at the conclusion of the season, thus the decision was most likely due to internal issues.
The club’s choice will have a significant impact on the team’s future as they aim to compete for Champions League spots again in the near future.
Chelsea’s four-man shortlist includes Frank, McKenna, Maresca, and De Zerbi.
According to Sky Sports reporter Solhekol, the Blues have finally decided on their final shortlist, which comprises Frank, McKenna, Maresca, and De Zerbi. The famous writer also revealed that Xavi Hernandez, the Spanish manager, is not on the list…
“Final shortlist for Chelsea’s head coach position: De Zerbi, Frank, Marseca, McKenna. No Xavi. The list represents the intention to select a creative, forward-thinking, and progressive coach who is aligned with the club’s vision and has high-level coaching experience in English football.”
De Zerbi, 44, has previously demonstrated his ability in the Premier League with Brighton & Hove Albion. His engaging style of play and ability to nurture young players make him an interesting candidate for Chelsea. Maresca has had a fantastic season with Leicester City, helping them return to the Premier League as champions.
Frank has built a reputation for himself via his efforts at Brentford. The 50-year-old led the Bees to the Premier League and has proven capable of keeping them there. McKenna is the youngest contender on the shortlist, at 38. His successes at Ipswich Town, including their promotion from the Championship, have piqued the interest of not just Chelsea but also other Premier League teams.
