Who Could Be Appointed As Chelsea’s Permanent Manager At The End Of This Season? | OneFootball

According to reports, Chelsea are being linked with Luis Henrique, the former Barcelona boss and Julian Nagelsmann, who was recently sacked by Bayern Munich. It is understood that the former Spain head coach has impressed the club after successfully presenting a solid and clear vision to the board, and the former Bayern head coach is deemed the fit considering his run with the German giants. This comes after the former Chelsea boss Graham Potter was sacked recently, and Frank Lampard made his return.

Enrique’s Impressive Career As A Manager So Far

Luis Enrique is a renowned football manager with an impressive track record in the footballing world. Luis Enrique began his managing career in 2008, when he took charge of the Spanish side, Roma. He then moved to Barcelona, where he spent three years and won several titles, including two La Liga titles and the Champions League.

After leaving Barcelona, he took a brief break from management before taking charge of the Spanish national team in 2018. Under his guidance, Spain won their Nations League group and made it to the semi-finals of the European Championships.

Nagelsmann’s Impressive Run With Bayern Munich

Following his impressive stints at Hoffenheim and RB Leipzig, Nagelsmann’s appointment as Bayern Munich’s head coach in 2021 only served to further solidify his reputation as a top-tier tactician.

His previous accomplishments, which include turning Hoffenheim into a top-tier Bundesliga team and leading RB Leipzig to their first-ever Champions League semifinal, have demonstrated his ability to get the best out of his players. Under his guidance, Bayern continued their domestic dominance, consistently competing for Bundesliga titles and other domestic trophies. Nagelsmann’s impact on Bayern Munich’s European campaign was substantial, but he was sacked before he could achieve anything on that level.

Who Should Boehly Appoint As The Head Coach Of Chelsea?

One of Luis Enrique’s defining features as a manager is his attacking style of play. He encourages his teams to play with flair and creativity and to attack relentlessly. This philosophy aligns with Chelsea‘s style of play, which is based on fast-paced attacking football.

On the other hand, one of the standout aspects of Nagelsmann’s coaching has been his tactical nous. His preferred style of play is an aggressive, high-pressing game, which often involves a fluid formation that can quickly transition between attack and defence.

Nagelsmann’s ability to develop young talents has been another significant factor in his success. By nurturing and providing opportunities for up-and-coming players like Jamal Musiala and Alphonso Davies, he has demonstrated his commitment to the long-term success of the club.

The Blues have a number of young players, and Nagelsmann would be a perfect fit to nurture their development at Stamford Bridge. Chelsea should consider appointing Nagelsmann over Enrique, looking at the long-term future of the club.
