In view of the appointment of a new coach, Julian Nagelsman was the leading candidate for Chelsea, who were quick to sack Graham Potter this weekend for poor results. However, the Stamford Bridge team is torn between the signing of the German coachrecently sacked by Bayern Munich, and Luis Enrique, who has not trained since he left the Spanish team after the World Cup in Qatar. Against all odds, the Asturian has entered the fight for the position and has already traveled to London to personally negotiate his incorporation into the club of the Premier League.
Nagelsmann is to the taste of the high command of the ‘Blues’, but his age worries him. Nagelsmann is only 35 years old, younger than some of the heavyweights in the squad, and for Chelsea it is anyone’s guess how he will be able to manage a dressing room loaded with egos and with so many players like this.

In the case of Luis Enrique, the Spaniard recently assured that he follows English football and that he only reads his press. Chelsea’s bench is one of the most attractive there is and will be, along with Tottenham’s, with the prospect of Manchester City continuing with Guardiola, Manchester United with Erik Ten Hag, Arsenal with Mikel Arteta and Liverpool with Jurgen Klopp.
It is an unmissable opportunity to enter the Premier, which would be the third major league for the Spaniard, after passing through Celta de Vigo, Roma and Barcelona, with whom he won the treble in 2014-2015.
Luis Enrique’s strengths
The Spaniard, who has traveled to London to meet in person with Chelsea, according to the media Jijantes, argues his position with being a coach with a strong character and imposing a coup de effect on a squad accustomed to the tranquility of Potter, much more measured and calm.
Luis Enrique managed one of the best tridents in the history of Barcelona (Messi, Neymar and Suárez) and led him to success. Any doubts about his personality and his strong conviction in himself were ruled out in his time with the national team, where he took no prisoners.
