The Blues are once again looking for another head coach following the sacking of Liam Rosenior last month, who lasted less than four months in charge.<\/p>\n

Rosenior was the second head coach to leave Chelsea this season following the departure of Enzo Maresca in January.<\/p>\n

Kaveh Solhekol claims Chelsea can still attract big name manager<\/h2>\n

Calum McFarlane has been placed in interim charge for the remainder of the season, whilst the sporting directors conduct the process of finding a new head coach.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s believed to be seven or eight names under consideration, with Andoni Iraola said to be an early front runner.<\/p>\n

Marco Silva and Xabi Alonso are thought to be other names of interest, although it\u2019s been reported Chelsea won\u2019t rush into a decision.<\/p>\n

Ideally fans would like to see a big name, and Chelsea need someone who will command the respect of the dressing room from day one.<\/p>\n

Whether the Blues can attract the calibre of head coach they need remains to be seen, but Solhekol believes they can.<\/p>\n

\u201cI still think big name managers will want to manage Chelsea and they can attract the kind of manager that they need this summer,\u201d he told Sky Sports.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c(Andoni) Iraola is a possibility, but there\u2019s lots of other clubs after him. Xabi Alonso would be a great fit. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cSomebody like Cesc Fabregas has been talked about a lot, but it\u2019d be very hard to get him out of Como. That would be another risk.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
