“I could” – Former Chelsea fan favourite says he will coach in the Premier League

However, he will manage in the Premier League one day, and I’d suspect that is likely to be at Arsenal if anywhere.

The former Chelsea midfielder said to The Telegraph:

“The Premier League is the best league in the world. I’ve always been very, very clear about it. I felt it as a player, I feel it as a coach, as a fan.

“But [José] Mourinho told me one day when I was at Chelsea ‘I still have 30 years to work’. So I could be here [Como] for 10 years, and you can still go to the Premier League in 12, 15 years.

“I take all the football decisions [at Como]. The sporting director, he’s day-to-day with me and we see football the same way.

“I’m so happy and lucky that we have a president that trusts me a lot and has given me the confidence to go and take all the football decisions. That, for me, is really important.

“I want to do it my way. Of course, you need to adapt, depending on the group of players that you have.

“But, at the end of the day, you have some beliefs. I couldn’t coach long ball, second ball. Why? Because you need to believe in what you do.

“If you ask me now ‘do you want to coach a national team?’ I will tell you ‘no’.

“Because I love coaching. I love being every day on the grass. I love being with the young players. I love the individual sessions. I love it all.”

Moises Caicedo is currently struggling for form, but Aston Villa star Matty Cash has claimed he does something better than most other players.

Marc Guiu is keen to leave Chelsea this summer, and his preference would be a loan move back to Spain according to reports. I personally believe Chelsea should just sell him permanently now and make some quick cash on him.
