Andoni Iraola is not the only name being studied by Chelsea. They have also been linked with others, such as Marco Silva and Eddie Howe, both of whom have experience in English football. (via @kierangill_DM)
Chelsea’s search for a new head coach is at an early stage with several names being discussed and explored.
Andoni Iraola is one of candidates, as @talkSPORT reported last week.
Fulham boss Marco Silva another genuine contender.
Outreach taking place to understand different options. #CFC set to speak to several managers in what is expected to be a thorough process.

@DanisMCFC Robben while at bayern said pep called him mid nite before a match of later in the day, he started explaining tactics to him in d mid nite over the phone.
😂
@herewithfrancis@FabrizioRomano I won’t even advise Olise to come back to England talk less of Chelsea. This league is too rough and the refs don’t protect the players. Olise already had a serious injury at CP before leaving to Bayern.
🚨 Rummenigge when asked about €200m for Olise: “In 2009, we had an incredible offer from Chelsea for Franck Ribéry. At the time, it would have been a new world transfer record”.
“I then went to our then CFO, Karl Hopfner, and Uli Hoeneß with this offer. We discussed it for two hours, trying to figure out what to do with it. That day, we made a fundamental decision: that in the future, we would never sell a player we would miss on the pitch”.
“This unwritten rule still applies today. For a player like Olise, there's no price tag that would make us flinch”, told @julianbuhl.
@CFCMJordan@jst_cls We don’t have high intensity players so Klopp is a better fit? Before or after he adjusted and won the league? What’s not to say that Irola doesn’t adjust? He’s far from my favorite fyi (devils advocate)
My personal opinion on playing style Chelsea SHOULD have is leaning towards an Iraola type. High, aggressive press and non-stop intensity.
However, the squad we have built up until this point doesn't really suit it.
It also requires STRONG depth if we really want to compete – which I don't think we have at this point.
And the point I've been trying to hammer down for the last week: the new coach needs to be someone the players immediately respect and someone they have full belief in to bring them to the top of the world. Iraola isn't that guy, imo.
The perfect coach in that sense would be Jürgen Klopp but I don't see a world where he joins Chelsea.
Neto was good yesterday. Was a genuine 1v1 threat, carried the ball on transition, worked hard off it and actually made runs in behind a lot. I love Neto to be making those runs constantly because few players can actually catch up to him when he does that. Got an important assist too.
it was a mature performance if I'm praising in isolation.
@Skizzle1905@CFCPys@ChelseaFC No ne will be begged. I love Enzo but if City offers crazy money £150m + it is what it is if he doesn’t have faith in Chelsea
@Retarded_inc@TheForumChelsea Thank you. The owners should’ve insisted that he stay till the end of the season and work with him. Who knows what happens. He’s a human being and not a robot. Self inflicted wounds
@ChelseaGodfada@TheForumChelsea Yeah man Maresca leaving mid season absolutely derailed it.
If the manager change was in the summer then maybe we could have been much better placed.
Man City- FA Cup final, title race
Arsenal- UCL semi final, title race
