🚨 😳 Worryingly, the turnover of coaches had led one Chelsea player to ponder if this is what he signed up for.

Victor Osimhen's will is clear and he wants to become a key player for Chelsea. An agreement on personal terms is not far away and the parties will continue to talk in the coming days.

(TEAMtalk)

Style of play suits what Chelsea owners want down to a tee, has worked with two members of the Chelsea hierarchy at Brighton, and has developed three Chelsea players Colwill, Caicedo and Mudryk at previous clubs. Get De Zerbi !

𝘽𝙍𝙀𝘼𝙆𝙄𝙉𝙂: Erik ten Hag is set to leave Man Utd in the summer.

Kieran McKenna, Roberto de Zerbi and Mauricio Pochettino are the leading candidates to replace him.

[Di Marzio]

United please take Pochettino🙏🏼

Kieran McKenna is expected to reject any new contract offer from Ipswich. The interest from Chelsea and Brighton is hard to ignore. Still potential for Man United to try after the cup final.

Chelsea are in pole position despite Brighton’s interest.

There are a couple of wildcards that are not in the media yet but will be soon.

𝐏𝐞𝐫 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐀𝐭𝐡𝐥𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐜’𝐬 𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭:

- Training sessions were ‘tactically primitive’.

- Poch refused to accept that his training methods contributed to injuries.

- Jesus Perez overworked players with excessive amounts of high-intensity running.

- Poch had a tendency to bring recovering players back into full training rather than adapted training too quickly resulted in re-injuries.

- Poch disliked using Enzo and Caicedo together and saw Gallagher as their superior.

- He selected Levi Colwill at LB to ‘bolster the defence’.

- Club’s recruitment team brought Cole Palmer and Poch wasn’t too convinced.

- Tried to sign ex-Spurs players to join the club for ‘experience’.

- Dismissed the need for hiring the best set-piece coach in England despite Chelsea’s lackluster record.

🚨🗣 Cesc Fabregas on visiting Cobham and reacting to Mauricio Pochettino leaving:

"I stayed in his office for an hour and a half talking football. It was really fun. I didn't have the feeling this was going to happen. I was surprised about the decision."

[BBC Sport]

🚨❗️The race is open for Kieran McKenna and Chelsea’s need to put contingency plans in place has seen them reach out to Enzo Maresca’s camp.

[Jacob Steinberg, Via Guardian]

Chelsea are adamant they don’t want a ‘yes man’, but a coach to work with them, taking advice on board from the data, recruitment and medical teams.

[via Jacob Steinberg]

A protest has been floated at 2pm on Sunday at Stamford Bridge. Fans are unhappy with the links of McKenna and such.

“ I was told before the League Cup final that Mauricio Pochettino winning it wouldn't be enough! It was always going to be judged on the league position."

(Via Simon Johnson)

Kieran McKenna has given Chelsea the green light to step up their approach that could see the Ipswich manager replace Mauricio Pochettino at Stamford Bridge.
