Luis Enrique Martínez, 52 years previous and 15 years of expertise on the bench, is making use of to teach Chelsea subsequent season. The Asturian coach met yesterday in London with membership blue to current his sporting venture and, when the time has come, to affix the bench at Stamford Bridge. Nonetheless, Chelsea prefers an previous man often called Frank Lampard as a bridge coach till the top of the season, as reported yesterday by the English media, who took his reinstatement as a right. Luis Enrique's future possibility is getting stronger... though the German Julian Nagelsmann will probably be a troublesome opponent, fired a number of days in the past from Bayern and who gave the impression of the primary alternative.
Luis Enrique traveled to London yesterday morning to barter his becoming a member of the English membership, accompanied by his buddy and agent Iván de la Peña and his son Pacho. In the midst of the afternoon I returned to Barcelona airport.
Through the assembly with the Blues leaders, Luis Enrique defined his enticing venture of selling younger values - as was evident within the Spanish crew he led within the World Cup - in addition to his recreation plan based mostly on excessive stress and the depth The proposal would have happy the managers of Chelsea, who, nevertheless, gave a steering wheel and are extra occupied with attempting to avoid wasting the season with a coach of the home, former participant Frank Lampard, who already managed the crew for a 12 months and a half (from July 2019 to January 2021), and will get to know the membership and a part of the employees.
So Bruno Saltor, interim coach since Graham Potter was sacked on Sunday, will hand over the bench to Lampard this Saturday at Wolves' camp. The ex-midfielder is the third blue coach in two years, since he was fired; he was succeeded by Tuchel and Potter.
On this method, the incorporation of Lampard frustrates Luis Enrique's fourth stage as a membership coach (after Roma, Celta and Barça) and essentially the most morbid premiere he may have as a blue coach, with the go to at Actual Madrid on Tuesday within the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals. Surely, the Bernabéu is the stage the place the Asturian coach is most hated, who was a white participant (from 1991 to 1996) earlier than signing for Barça in 1996.
So, Luis Enrique will proceed to be unemployed. Because the Spanish Soccer Federation introduced on December 8 that it was not renewing him as coach following the spherical of 16 elimination from the World Cup in opposition to Morocco, the Asturian had taken a interval of reflection and had begun to plan the his future, making it a precedence to coach within the Premier League.
His authentic thought, as he himself expressed to Ser Gijón a number of days in the past, was to start out a venture from scratch subsequent season. Nonetheless, occasions have been precipitated by the sacking of Potter on Sunday, a circumstance that made the Asturian rethink his plan and journey to London.
The potential for taking cost of a really highly effective squad, stuffed with stars (essentially the most strengthened on the earth with 9 gamers for 400 million euros within the winter market) and the problem of lifting a poor performing crew have been sufficient arguments for Luis Enrique to simply accept the problem and attempt to persuade Todd Boehly (49), the American businessman co-owner of Chelsea since Could 2022.
If, after Lampard's interim, Chelsea resolve to provide Luis Enrique the reins, the Asturian can have a titanic job: to show what's now a mere assortment of worldwide stars with out a cohesive, stable and aggressive crew no collective sense.
Chelsea is eleventh within the Premier League, 33 factors behind the leaders, however in 11 of the final locations that give entry to the Champions League (they're occupied by Newcastle and Tottenham), so it's possible to avoid wasting the course. He may additionally do it in Europe, however for that he must eradicate the reigning champion.
