“Spectacular” 50-Year-Old Manager: The Strong Contender to be Chelsea’s Next Boss with Two League Titles under His Belt
Zinedine Zidane may be the next Chelsea manager, according to rumors.
First and foremost, it’s important to stress that Graham Potter is still the Blues’ current head coach.
Stamford Bridge is now filled with furious supporters, which is understandable considering the team’s two victory in their previous 16 games across all competitions.
Potter is still in charge of the Blues, however, for the time being.
As a result, it’s not surprising to hear whispers about potential future managers spreading.
Zidane is a potential contender to coach Chelsea going forward, claims the Spanish newspaper Sport.
The 50-year-old and Luis Enrique are two possibilities, according to the story, to replace Chelsea’s under-fire manager.
According to writer Simon Phillips’ Substack, Chelsea respects Brentford manager Thomas Frank.
Sporting Lisbon’s manager, Ruben Amorim, has also been linked to the Blues.
Luka Modric previously referred to Zidane as a “great coach,” making him one of football’s most well-known characters.
He managed Real Madrid during two periods of time and amassed 11 notable prizes, including three Champions League medals and two La Liga titles.
The Frenchman is presently unemployed and bereft of a job despite having two management spells at the Bernabeu and a 66% winning rate.
He would have a fantastic opportunity to establish himself in the English Premier League, but for the time being, all eyes are on the man who still sits in the manager’s dugout in west London.
For Potter, this weekend’s home Premier League encounter against Leeds United will be a significant contest.
