Chelsea owners feeling the pressure ahead of managerial appointment

Reports stated that the Blues made an approach to former Barcelona manager Xavi over the vacancy. He has been out of a job for a couple of years now.

Despite Xavi being keen on a Premier League job, Fabrizio Romano believes that there have been no talks regarding the Spaniard.

He said: “My understanding, after checking, is there is nothing ongoing between Chelsea and Xavi. Zero contacts. There are different candidates, different names on the shortlist.

When giving a further update on Chelsea’s managerial search, Romano insisted the owners are well aware that they cannot get this next appointment run, after their recent track record.

He said: “Chelsea continue their process to find a new manager. The feeling at the club is that they are still in the early stages. Talking to candidates, so it’s going to be a really important month at Chelsea, because they can’t miss on the manager. They know that.”

MESSAGE TO BLUECO: Get Fabregas in and listen to JT! 👊

It just makes sense.

Behdad Eghbali has chosen his candidate for next Chelsea manager

Plenty of Chelsea fans have no confidence in the owners to get the decision on the next manager right, and Eghbali has reportedly already made his choice.

Reports have stated the owner wants Andoni Iraola as the next Chelsea manager, with him departing from Bournemouth at the end of the season.

The Spaniard puts a real emphasis on work-rate, something the Blues have been desperately lacking this season.

Chelsea have been outrun in every single Premier League game this season, reflecting in their woeful form.
