Last night’s defeat – our fourth game in a row without scoring – has focused minds at Chelsea on the search for a new manager this summer.
It will be one of the key elements in rebuilding this club from the dump it’s in now. Luis Enrique has already interviewed for the job face to face, and he really impressed by all accounts.
But it’s not over yet, and the whole point of having a caretaker in charge from now until the end of the season is that the sporting directors have a long time to make their decisions. Next up for interview, according to Bild today, is Julien Nagelsmann.
The former Bayern coach looks to be the joint favourite alongside Luis Enrique, and is well connected at Chelsea after spending years working at RB Leipzig and Hoffenheim with Christopher Vivell, one of our sporting and technical directors.
Luis Enrique has set the bar high, but you’d back Nagelsmann as someone capable of matching that.
Luis is the candidate if lampard fails
