‘Elite’ manager tipped to complete Chelsea move

CHELSEA fans have been told that the board need to hire an elite manager after stunning links with Brighton boss Roberto De Zerbi.

Graham Potter was brought to the club in September in hope that he could turn this side back into Premier League title contenders, but despite adding so many players to the squad, they are struggling.

And after loss after loss after loss – there has been alot of speculation about who will be the next manager into the club – especially as Potter is tipped to get the sack next.

That has led to some stunning reports that De Zerbi could make a move to London after turning his Brighton side into real European place challengers – with his style of football also being highly praised.

However – amid that speculation – Gabby Agbonlahor has claimed that the club need to hire an elite manager rather than trying to hire De Zerbi – Agbonlahor told Football Insider.: “I can’t see Chelsea going for De Zerbi.

“Obviously if the defeats keep coming for Potter, he will have to lose his job. That’s clear.

“But they’ve got to have learned their lesson. They can’t go for someone who has done well at a smaller club.

“They’ve got to go for an elite manager with a track record of working at the highest level.

“There’s no way De Zerbi is the answer to this problem they’re facing. They’ve got to look elsewhere.”
