Linked Chelsea manager target is working quickly to be able to coach in England | OneFootball

Chelsea linked manager target Filipe Luis is apparently working quickly to obtain his license to be able to coach in England.

Luis is a name that has been loosely linked with the vacant manager role by a few outlets, even though he does not seem to be a leading candidate right now. It is clear that Chelsea do like him and have been keeping a close eye on his progress. But the Chelsea job might just come a little bit too early for him right now as they seem to want a more experienced option in the hot seat.

Even still, Luis is getting prepared just in case. Maybe he is getting ready in the hope that he might get that call from the club he used to play for this summer.

In information relayed by Sport Witness this week citing Critica as the source, Filipe Luís is working urgently to obtain his UEFA Pro Licence as quickly as possible in order to coach in England.

They go on to ay that Chelsea closely monitored his work at Flamengo and seriously considered appointing him. However, legal and regulatory issues linked to his coaching licence prevented the move from progressing further.
