Chelsea Coaching Chaos: Joe Cole Tips Xabi Alonso but Doubts Top Managers Will Take the Job

Joe Cole has predicted that a former Liverpool player will take over as Chelsea’s permanent head coach.

After firing Liam Rosenior on Wednesday, less than four months into a six-and-a-half-year deal, the Blues’ management is searching for their next head coach.

For the remainder of the season, Calum McFarlane will serve as Chelsea’s interim head coach. He will start on Sunday against Leeds in the FA Cup semi-final.

The next full-time head coach at Stamford Bridge and Rosenior’s permanent successor will be discussed in the interim.

Cole, a former midfielder for Chelsea, thinks that elite coaches “worth their salt” wouldn’t want to join the team in its current situation, although he could see one competitor from his Premier League playing days as a possible candidate.

Cole remarked, “I want to see Carlo Ancelotti.” “I want to see Pep Guardiola. But in these circumstances, you must be practical.

“Any top manager worth their salt won’t want to apply for this position because of the way the new owners have treated every manager since they took over. Let’s assume it won’t be very high on their list.

Cole said, “I’d love to see Xabi Alonso at the club,” in an interview with Paddy Power. Watching his [Bayer] Leverkusen team was fantastic. He was mistreated at Real Madrid, in my opinion. He is familiar with large clubs. He is a victor.

“The sad thing is, I don’t think Xabi Alonso would even consider Chelsea,” Cole continued, being brutally honest.

“The owners [BlueCo] should be held accountable as they are the ones who pick the managers and set up the structure that prevents them from succeeding.

The unfortunate issue is that there doesn’t appear to be any evaluation or sincere investigation into why this isn’t working at the football team.

That would necessitate introspection and listening to those who actually care about the club’s best interests. individuals with extensive knowledge on how these things work.
