David Ornstein of The Athletic says that Chelsea have narrowed down the brand new everlasting supervisor search to only a handful now, so it’s value taking into account that it may not really be simply certainly one of Julian Nagelsmann or Luis Enrique.
However the common consensus is that a type of two are almost definitely as of now to turn out to be Chelsea’s subsequent everlasting supervisor, and that would really come earlier than we expect.
The factor is each of them are a little bit totally different by way of model of expertise. I believe additionally they have some similarities. However there are additionally key variations.
Nagelsmann out of the 2 is youthful and fewer skilled as a supervisor – that’s only a reality. Subsequently there are danger components on that aspect. However neither of them have ever managed within the Premier League earlier than both, which might additionally current dangers. Enrique hasn’t managed domestically since 2017.
The factor is, neither can actually be known as a ‘excellent’ candidate, however then is there such factor? No less than, is there such factor out there proper now?
Each have professionals and cons and when somebody asks me who I want, I’ve been fluttering between the 2. None of them standout clearly sufficient from the opposite for me and to be sincere after I actually assume deeply into every, I’d really be content material with both of them.
Nagelsmann is a tactical genius and shall be asking for a brand new backbone of the group – goalkeeper, defensive midfielder, and a striker. And folks understand how badly we’d like that. However who’s to say Enrique wont ask for that as properly? I’m certain he can equally see how badly the group wants that.
And is Enrique unhealthy tactically? After all not. He has other ways and setups maybe, however he actually is aware of the best way to set a group up.
The most important factor for me proper now’s the sturdy mentality. This group of gamers wants a powerful character in proper now. They want somebody who is not going to solely encourage and inspire, but additionally be agency, truthful, and a little bit bit stricter than what we have now seen. I at all times stated somebody between Thomas Tuchel and Graham Potter by way of character could be good, however leaning extra in the direction of Tuchel’s aspect. Some gamers do want an arm round them generally, however we’d like a supervisor in who will lead from the sidelines, who shall be passionate, vocal, and motivating. That for me is an important factor we ought to be going for proper now.
Enrique clearly stands out in that division, however once more, I believe it’s unfair to say that Nagelsmann doesn’t have a little bit of this about him as properly. It’s extra simply the expertise aspect of Enrique that shines by there.
This squad wants a ruthless supervisor, not somebody who needs to provide all these gamers an opportunity, as soon as once more. What number of possibilities can they’ve? We’d like somebody who will are available in and make daring selections and check out totally different gamers/concepts. What we’re doing now is just not working, clearly.
I like Nagelsmann, and after I noticed that he was out there and we have been sacking Potter, I instantly leaned in the direction of going to get him. He’s a high coach and a high supervisor. However I additionally price many points of what Enrique can deliver.
As you’ll be able to see, I’m a little bit break up, and that implies that if it’s out of those two, whoever we get I’ll be content material and that’s a superb consequence so far as I’m involved.
