Andoni Iraola dreams of managing big Premier League club
There’s understood to be seven or eight names under consideration, with Iraola thought to be an early front runner.
David Ornstein believes Chelsea will make an appointment early in the summer, and given previous mistakes the Blues can’t afford to pick the wrong man.
Marco Silva is thought to be another name under consideration, whilst Xabi Alonso would be the preference for a number of supporters.

“Andoni Iraola has this dream to continue in Premier League and manage a top club,” he told his YouTube channel.
