Ally McCoist's Pick for Chelsea Boss

 Ally McCoist's Pick for Chelsea Boss


    There has been a ton of speculation about who is going to replace Mauricio Pochettino at Stamford Bridge next season. Ally McCoist, former Scottish Footballer, sat down with talksportbet.com and gave his two cents on the topic. If you've played a FIFA game in the last ten years you may recall his voice as you went one-on-on with the keeper. He spoke about the oddity of firing Mauricio Pochettino after the successful campaign Chelsea had. McCoist also compared hiring Kieran McKenna to that of Graham Potter, stating: 

    "I thought Graham Potter would have been a good option at the time, so do Chelsea go left-field for someone like Kieran McKenna again? It would be a ridiculous gamble if they were to appoint him considering how little experience he has. He’s done a great job with Ipswich in the Championship, but Chelsea is a completely different kettle of fish."

    I agreed with his assessment of Kieran McKenna and made the same comparison myself in article:
    
    Then, Ally McCoist went on to endorse one manager in particular for the job. He said:

“I initially thought Roberto De Zerbi was going to Juventus, but he’d probably be my pick to take over at Chelsea considering the squad that they have. I don’t think there’s any other outstanding candidates, which makes it a bizarre decision to sack Mauricio Pochettino in the first place, but De Zerbi would be my number one given the circumstances.”
   
    Ironically, Graham Potter was hired at Chelsea from Brighton two years ago and look how that turned out. Chelsea also signed Marc Cucurella and Moises Caicedo for far more than they are worth from Brighton. Call me superstitious, but I don't want Chelsea to take anything from Brighton anymore. They had more luck taking from Leicester City with N'golo Kante and they should have snagged Maddison before Tottenham got him. 

What are your thoughts? Should the next manager be Roberto De Zerbi, or do you prefer someone else?

Chelsea Select New Manager

Chelsea Settled on Enzo Maresca © Provided by Metro      There had been much speculation about who would be replacing Mauricio Pochettino at Chelsea, but they have finally come to a decision. An agreement has been reached with Leicester City to sign Enzo Maresca for 10 million pounds. While he wasn’t on the top of any short list that I’ve read over the last week, Maresca might fit perfectly into the new Sporting Directors’ plan. Who is Enzo Maresca?      Enzo Maresca is a 44-year-old Italian former player with the likes of Juventus and Sevilla. After spending some time as an assistant coach under Pellegrini at West Ham, a failed stint as manager at Parma, and assistant coach under Pep Guardiola at Man City, Maresca just led Leicester city to a Championship title and promotion back into the Premier League. There are some who have voiced concern over his short stint at Serie B club, Parma, that resulted in being sacked after a dozen or so games, but the disciple of Guardiola has promise.

 Enzo Fernandez Racist Chant Has Team Divided      Enzo Fernandez came under fire after a video surfaced of the Argentinian National team chanting racist remarks. Argentina was awarded the Copa America 2024 after defeating Colombia 1-0 on a day shrouded by controversy. The game was delayed over an hour after fans created chaos by storming the gates. Hundreds of fans climbed the gates and entered the stadium without tickets, leaving those with tickets outside while security attempted to restore order. The game ended with an Argentine victory, but the players are facing the aftershock of their celebration song.  Fernandez, midfielder for Chelsea, posted a video on Instagram of the team chanting about the French National team. They are singing about the players being from Africa but documented as French. It targets Mbappe directly, whose father is from Cameroon, and his mother is from Algeria. Shortly after posting the video, his Chelsea teammate and French national player, Wesley Fofana

Chelsea Legend Unhappy with Manager Departure

 Chelsea Legend Unhappy with Manager Firing       The decision to release Mauricio Pochettino has been a shock to many of the players and coaching staff. One Chelsea legend and current academy coach took to Instagram to express his feelings about the departure. John Terry, longtime defender and team captain during their most successful era, wrote that he is "gutted" by Poch's exit. Chelsea fans share in his hope that players are not bought or sold until the next manager is selected.      If the sporting directors or ownership at Stamford Bridge had any sense, they would listen to the five-time EPL winner. They need to figure out the new manager's tactics and formation so they can collaborate on acquiring players who will fit their style of play. That was one of the problems all of the five managers have had in the last couple of years. They all picked up a squad arranged by the previous manager that didn't fit the formation or tactic. Also, the players couldn'
