⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Avirunes]

Chelsea are desperate and its understandable especially when CL is up ahead and they are to face Spanish giants Real Madrid. Squad needs someone to manage them well and set the squad up before the game. Nagelsmann is the only one which is reported to be close to fill the vacant spot of head coach at Chelsea : https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1643283562362200067  and it seems to me that Nagelsmann is likely to be the next one managing Chelsea now. No contacts with Pochetinno so Nagelsmann is the likely one.

Regarding Zidane, he is very suitable to be Potter successor. There is no need to doubt Zidane quality, he has already made history with Real Madrid.

Zidane is ready to come back next season, that's what I remember from the news I read a few days ago. His name is also linked again with Real Madrid. This is still doubtful for me, because Ancelotti still has a contract with Madrid until 2024. Apart from Zidane, there are rumors that Mourinho is also become a target for Madrid. If Zidane returns to Madrid, it's not surprising, but if he going to Chelsea he will make new history because this will be the first time for him to manage EPL clubs. Chelsea maybe need a coach like him, but sometimes a coach is not fit with any clubs at all. However, this is really become interesting news to follow.

I'm surprised Zidane still isn't keen on facing a big club in the Premier League, and if it's Chelsea he's in charge, we can at least see a good game. Despite Zidane's disinterest, I think he prefers to remain silent. Ancelotti is still comfortable at Real Madrid and his contract is still long. Graham Potter is gone for us to mention, maybe the coach option Todd Boehly wants is someone he can control. It's not like when Tuchel was there but seeing Todd Boehly's selection of Potter should be a lesson that the results are always abysmal.

With Potter gone from Chelsea and Spurs sacking Conte, who do you think will be their new managers? There's Nagelsmann who is hot prospect and probably both teams will sought after him. Mauricio Pochettino still has a great fan following at Spurs and is a possibility. Brenden Rogers is freshly out of a job as well. While Arne Slot and  Roberto de Zerbi are also very sought after.

Julian Nagelsmann is the right coach for Chelsea. He was just sacked from Bayern Munich, and we know his abilities at Bayern Munich were able to bring Bayern Munich to the UCL Quarter-Finals. It's just that it doesn't suit Bayern Munich anymore, not because of Bayern Munich's declining performance. We know how Julian Nagelsmann brought PSG to their knees in the last 16 of the UCL. Is it something easy? Of course not. He was able to beat the king of france.

Tuchel was asked in an interview whether he could recommend Nagelsmann to go to Chelsea if that became an option and Tuchel said that he used to love the club, but since the new owner overtook it is not the Chelsea anymore that it used to be. I think there is a lot between the lines and I do indeed think that it is not necessarily a very fun job. In the end it's probably the money that counts. If they offer Nagelsmann 12 million a season or even more, it is hard to see how he will decline that offer unless he is getting offered a position from Real Madrid. There is some movement in the market when it comes to manager positions. If Ancelotti has to go at the end of the season, there will be a lot of interesting decisions. There is also Zidane who is available and willing to take on a role in some club .

Zidane had only one team on his mind and it was the France national team but after the post world comments by the federation president, Zizou is prioritizing other options but i hadly doubt he will be coming to England so soon. Zidane doesn’t speaks English and that is a very huge barrier for him, moreover it is likely that both Madrid and PSG are monitoring his situation with Perez the Madrid chairman still keen of bringing him back to coach Los Blancos as the rumors are getting string of Ancelloti potentially leaving for Brazil national team. PSG also will do with an experience coach at this time and Zidane could be their target as well.

Mourinho is also a candidate to replace Potter at Chelsea but one thing remains that Chelsea are currently in search of a coach that would stay for a longer time to bring out the potential in this young squad and we all know Mou isn’t that coach. Two to three season now Mou might want to switch clubs and that will be bad for Chelsea.

The clear candidates in this tussle to be Chelsea coach is clear between Nagelsmann, Luiz Enrique and Pochettinho. This three coaches have the ability to bring out the best in young players and also can offer longevity. When we analyze there success then Enrique comes out at the top after is success at Barcelona.

Julian Nagelsmann's figure is indeed good enough for Chelsea. but would he be available to coach Chelsea? these rumors existed even after his dismissal from Munich. Chelsea does have to find a head coach soon, but they don't need to be in too much of a rush for this.
but in my opinion, Chelsea will not sign Julian Nagelsmann. I may be wrong, but that's just my guess.

[Captain Corporate]

Nagelsmann is younger than Ronaldo, and I think Messi as well? Maybe just a bit older than Messi. Dude is too young and he was given a huge task and him failing at that (which I would say not even failing) is alright, and Chelsea should be happy to have him. At that age, if he can get some success here and there, dude could become the Sir Alex Ferguson of Chelsea by that logic, he can manage a team for 30+ years based on his age, not saying he would, but that's a thing you can't find in any other manager. Aside from Nagelsmann, there is Luiz Enrique, and Pochettino, those are the top 3 ones, I doubt they would go for anyone else.

[Pokapoka124]

Honestly I don’t know what Todd Boehly is doing but he needs to get a new manager. There are about 10 games to go and if they can’t get to the UCL finals then there’s need to get a manager to build the players and see if they can make the UCL qualification spot. Julian Nagelsmann has emerged as the favourite to replace Potter at Chelsea so I’m expecting him to start now and do something asap.

Now that Potter has been sacked and the wish of many Chelsea supporters have been fulfilled, we shall see how well the team will perform in their next games. I’m a little disappointed hearing Bruno Saltor is taking over from Graham Potter, what could Bruno Saltor possibly bring to the table at this time? Chelsea needs a good coach ASAP to bring a change in the team's performance. Chelsea will be facing Real Madrid with Bruno Saltor in control if they haven't found a suitable replacement for Potter yet. I am doubtful Bruno has enough experience to succeed against the experienced Ancelloti when they face Real Madrid.

There has been a lot of speculation regarding who will become the new coach of Chelsea and Tottenham, and these are a number of names that are familiar to football fans. However, what is currently being discussed is Nagelsmann, who was recently sacked from Bayern Munich. He is a coach who was actually still fine when he was still at Bayern Munich, only a slight decline which I think is still very reasonable.

Nagelsmann's name has emerged as the strongest candidate to become a Chelsea coach, apart from Luis Enrique.  according to some rumors that I read, reflecting on Graham Potter's failure, Nagelsmann gave conditions to Chelsea. Reported by The Times, it is reported that Nagelsmann is also interested in accepting the job from Chelsea at this time. however, he includes conditions that must be met by the Blues. These conditions include the amount of authority that you will get if you become a coach and what Chelsea's long-term plans are. also, considering Potter's dismissal. Nagelsmann asked for guarantees of how much authority he would gain while coaching Chelsea. But, I'm not too sure about the legitimacy of this rumor.

However, if speaking from my personal perspective. I would agree that Nageslmann is the most ideal coach for Chelsea. it's just that, at least it takes time for Nagelsmann to bring Chelsea much better than now. I mean, to make the ideal team according to what the fans want. at least, Nagelsmann needs process. But, let's see which coach is willing to become the new Chelsea boss.

Nagelsmann is younger than Ronaldo, and I think Messi as well? Maybe just a bit older than Messi. Dude is too young and he was given a huge task and him failing at that (which I would say not even failing) is alright, and Chelsea should be happy to have him.

Well i don't think age comes into the equation at all, managers aren't players, so they can stay in the dugout for quite a very long time, if they choose to; if Chelsea want to sign Nagelsmann, it is because of what they think he can bring to the football club in terms of footballing philosophy, good tactics, winning mentality, et cetera, they are definitely not looking at his age. BTW, he was doing very well at Bayern, he didn't fail imo, the club basically just wanted a change of manager for other reasons.

Aside from Nagelsmann, there is Luiz Enrique, and Pochettino, those are the top 3 ones, I doubt they would go for anyone else.

Reliable sources keep on mentioning Nagelsmann, so i'd say it's almost 70% that it would be him, but who knows, talks can break down at anytime in football, and then only would their attention shift elsewhere.

The latest rumors report that Manchester United are interested in signing Leverkusen's right-back Jeremie Frimpong. As we now know, Erik ten hag seems to doubt Diogo Dalot's performance to fill the right-back position, but actually he still has Wan Bissaka who is performing quite well. However, if you look at the market value, the actual price is still relatively cheap and can be reached by the red devils. Could this be a good option in the summer transfer market for Manchester United?

[KTChampions]

Some people are saying that Chelsea don't need to be in a hurry to choose their manager but I think they had better act faster than this. Because they are still a part of the Champions League now despite their condition in the Premier League. Real Madrid are a very challenging opponent so Chelsea need a much better management immediately to be able to do something at least.

But we will see when they will make their decision. There is still one week to go for the first leg.

Do you think that the appointment of a coach can somehow change the balance of power in a pair of Real - Chelsea? I highly doubt it, it seems to me that even if Zidane, Mourinho, Ancelotti and anyone else advise Chelsea at the same time, Chelsea will still remain an underdog. At the moment, Chelsea's management is doing the right thing - they don't need to make an urgent, ill-considered decision. They need to hire a coach who will definitely work for several years.

Since there is not much time for Chlesea to choose a coach because they are going to face Real Madrid in a hard match and they don't have a good position on the table, I guess choosing a good coach at this time can be hard for them but at this moment there are some unemployed coaches like Conte and Nagelsmann and I think Conte can be a good option for then because he was working on Premier league until a few weeks ago.

I am doubtful Bruno has enough experience to succeed against the experienced Ancelloti when they face Real Madrid.

I don't think Bruno Saltor is going to be the permanent main coach. I believe that Chelsea is actually going to change the main coach. They are going to get someone else. They have already downgraded from Thomas Tuchel to Potter. That was not a good idea. Now I believe they have learned their lesson.

Now they already understand that it is not going to be any improvement for the new coach this season. So probably they are waiting to find the best coach and get ready for the next season. Because probably bringing a new coach right now is not going to help too much.

Brendan Rodgers achievement in Leicester City is quite good that in this team he can able to get Community Shield trophy and bring Leicester advance to the semifinal match Europa Conference League but indeed in since the beginning of season Leicester has been showing decline performance and seems their performance were never been better and stayed at the bottom of standings league although in my opinion it's not entirely Rodgers' fault because at that time he has complaining Leicester didn't give enough funds for him to bought players
I just found several popular names for the replacement of Rodgers such as Rafael Benitez but apparently the management has decide to hire Adam Sadler and Mike Stowell as the interm manager of Leicester and with only 10 matches remaining it's really hard for them to bringing Leicester to avoid relegation zone

Its a shame finally seeing Brendan Rodgers parting ways with Liecester, I can’t blame the club because at this stage the fear of getting relegated is intense and with 10 games left, only improvement is expected to escape relegation and the team is still struggling to win games. Surely the board of directors have lost faith in Brendan Rodgers who has failed to turn the situation around.

Regardless of their decision to look for a new coach or not, I don't think this will add much potential to face Madrid. The conditions are still the same even with Interim coach Bruno Saltor or indeed bringing in a new coach, they still need more adaptation so this doesn't really determine what I think.
On the other hand, bringing in a coach also needs consideration and Todd must realize that a rash decision "again" will not go well for them.

Saltor is only temporary because his job is identical as an assistant coach from 2011. Well, I think this week Chelsea will announce a new coach and among them the name Nagelsmann appears as the leading coach who will train Chelsea for the rest of this season and also for next season which of course depends of the contract he received later.

we are still waiting for an update from fabrizio regarding this matter because in some recent tweets from him Nagelsmann is the front favorite to coach chelsea.

the first half chelsea vs liverpool ended in a draw no goals were created. we will see who will come out victorious in this match but i think liverpool will win this match.

[emrecemsan]

As you know Brendan Rodgers isn't Leicester's manager anymore after having a really poor season. Right now it isn't known who will be their next manager yet. Graham Potter has been speculated with them first. But according to the news he isn't interested in a job offer until the summer for now. Actually it would have been a good choice for Potter to manage Leicester. Because I believe Potter is just the man for average teams in the Premier League. Because you have all seen what did with Brighton.

He impressed people with his performance there first and it was the most helpful thing for him to be Chelsea's manager in the first place. He couldn't do well there though but it looks like smaller teams are a better match for him to shine.

[Cat1]

Without knowing more about Manchester United's specific needs and broad transfer plan it's challenging to asses whether signing Jeremie Frimpong would be a wise move. He might be a desirable choice given his potential and relatively low cost

[RealMalatesta]

With Potter gone from Chelsea and Spurs sacking Conte, who do you think will be their new managers? There's Nagelsmann who is hot prospect and probably both teams will sought after him. Mauricio Pochettino still has a great fan following at Spurs and is a possibility. Brenden Rogers is freshly out of a job as well. While Arne Slot and  Roberto de Zerbi are also very sought after.

Former Barcelona and Spain national team coach, Luis Enrique, has also emerged as a leading candidate to fill the vacant coaching chair at Chelsea. The Spaniard is in contention for the job at Stamford Bridge, along with Julian Nagelsmann and Mauricio Pochettino. Apart from that, there are also rumors that The Blues are also approaching Diego Simeone and Zinedine Zidane.

Pochettino could be a good candidate because he managed PSG before and he won so many titles with them, so he knows how to win and what is required to build a good team. Sure, it's easy winning ligue 1 with PSG, that wasn't a tough job but at least he did it and that type of experience matters and I think it's important.

There isn't going to to be any team that doesn't want him, he will find himself a place for sure but he doesn't want to go to a terrible team, or a low level team, that would be bad after PSG and would make it harder for him to go to another big club. Imagine him managing PSG then some small town team, like sheriff that beat Real last year, and then come back and manage City, that's impossible. So if he goes from PSG to Chelsea or Spurs to City, that could make sense, that's what he must be aiming at.
