Sky Sports name 3 managers Chelsea are targeting in pool of high-calibre availability

Sky Sports believe Chelsea will have a pool of high-calibre managers available in the summer in their latest report out today.

As we know, Chelsea sacked Liam Rosenior last week and they are now once again in search of a new head coach to go into next season with. I would say and beyond but we all know how this lot have operated so far, so there’s no expectation for Chelsea managers to even last six months these days let alone a year.
