Former Chelsea player Filipe Luis has been named as a top Chelsea target by multiple outlets even just yesterday.
When every publication has been putting out their lists of possible names who could replace Liam Rosenior as the new head coach at Chelsea, Luis is mentioned more often than not.
Usually when this happens, it means that there is more than substance to it and will certainly have legs to the links. You can rest assured that Luiz will certainly be a potential target being considered by Chelsea right now.
But would hi tick the ‘experienced’ boxes and a manager who demands respect from the players? That I am not so sure about.

As far as I could see, there was three reports just yesterday who named Luis as a top target for Chelsea manager.
CBS Sports named him in their list of five managers Chelsea are looking at.
The Daily Mirror also named him as a candidate.
And reporter Gianluigi Longari has named Luis as THE top candidate in line to replace Rosenior.
Liam Rosenior’s reign at Chelsea was over almost before it began – players simply didn’t respect him and never took to his ideas. Extreme man marking and lack of respect was his downfall?
Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez is being linked with a potential move to Man City as the Blues consider cashing in on their £100m man. It’s being linked with Enzo Maresca potentially heading there.
