Chelsea No Longer a Club - Ruud Gullit

 


    A lot of people have been outspoken about their feelings regarding Mauricio Pochettino's premature sacking, especially former players and managers. After leading the club to a sixth-place finish and returning to European competition, the Club and manager mutually decided to part ways. More recently was former Chelsea player-manager, Ruud Gullit. 

    As a player, Ruud Gullit spent most of his career with AC Milan. He was a player-manager at Chelsea from 1996-1998 before managing Newcastle, Feyenoord, and LA Galaxy. 

    While discussing Poch's departure, Gullit said, “During my period I still had the feeling: this is a football club. There was another thought behind it, with Roman Abramovich. But if you look now: you can’t really identify with that, can you? It seems like a business model; it’s just making money.”

    Club officials state that the decision to let go of Mauricio Pochettino came down to his criticism of the Co-Sporting Directors and disagreements with his style of coaching. Players such as Cole Palmer and Nikolas Jackson expressed their disappointments on social media. 

    Now that the club has decided on Enzo Maresca as the new head coach, the team will be looking to boost their defense and fine tune the finishing. Let's hope Boehly and Behdad gives Maresca more time than they gave Pochettino.

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 disci...

 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 nationa...

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 pl...
