departure was officially announced.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Phillips appears to have heard the same thing, describing the situation at Stamford Bridge as &#8220;an absolute shambles&#8221;&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Chelsea&#8217;s current owner hasn&#8217;t inspired much confidence since taking over from previous owner Roman Abramovich, with Todd Boley and Behada Egbali taking the Blues in a completely different direction.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps it is currently proving difficult for CFC to attract good managers to help drive this project forward.<\/p>\n<h2><span

speculation about who will be Chelsea&#8217;s next manager.<\/p>\n<p>According to Fabrizio Romano, one of the leading candidates seems to be Liam Rosenior, who did a great job with fellow BlueCo club Strasbourg&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Bournemouth&#8217;s renowned manager Andoni Iraola has also been linked with the west London giants, according to a report in the Daily Mail.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s not clear which manager turned Chelsea down, but one imagines that the likes of Rosenior and Iraola would certainly see the job as a step up for them, even if it wasn&#8217;t the easiest time to take over.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Enzo Maresca and Reece James (Photo by Warren Little\/Getty Images)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><span

huge club with a very strong recent history, despite going through a difficult period since Abramovich had to relinquish ownership of the club.<\/p>\n<p>Chelsea have very talented young players and the team remained in the Champions League and reached the semi-finals of the Carabao Cup.<\/p>\n<p>Even if some newer managers like Maresca seem to find it difficult to work under this ownership, I&#8217;m sure there are many who would be tempted by it.<\/p>\n<p><!-- Article End -->\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chelsea co-owner Todd Boley and former manager
