Perfectly aware that Zinedine Zidane is not hot to lead a Premier League club, Chelsea nevertheless pulls out all the stops to convince the French technician to come to the Blues with unlimited financial means.
Stuck in the middle of the table despite the pharaonic spending during the last windows of the transfer market, Chelsea are totally lost. The crisis has long been announced at the Blues, even if the American owner Todd Boehly refuses to cut off the head of Graham Potter, the manager destined to lead the London club to the top of Europe in the long term. But for the moment, it’s a football porridge in each match, and great difficulty in picking up the European places, since Chelsea are 10th with 14 days remaining. A resounding failure especially as the tension is palpable in the locker room. Rookies are under enormous pressure, players not only complaining about their playing time, but sometimes not even being included in Graham Potter’s group of contracted players. And the settling of scores within the workforce is multiplying, and is making the fat cabbage of the English tabloids which did not ask for so much.

In all this slump, Potter should still have a hard time keeping his position at the end of the season if his streak of a victory over the last 11 games continues. continues. As a result, according to Football London, support for Graham Potter will eventually crack, and two managers have priority as Blues leaders for next season. Information confirmed by Sport. They are Luis Enrique, free since the disappointing World Cup in Spain, and Zinedine Zidane. The French technician has already made it known that he is not especially hot to lead a Premier League club, but that does not prevent Chelsea from insisting heavily. A colossal salary, an almost total control of transfers, recruits in spades, everything is promised to ZZ to make him switch and make him a rookie of choice on the sidelines.
