This Thursday, Chelsea announced it Frank Lampard, a former midfielder of the club, will be the interim manager until the end of the season. But from June there will be a new coach and Marcellus Gallardo appears in the list of candidates to take charge of the team that must Enzo Fernández as figure.
Lampard arrives at Chelsea to replace Bruno Saltor, on an interim basis following the sacking of Graham Potter. The team is going far in the Premier League and have a quarter-final against Real Madrid next week for the Champions League. The idea is that a new manager will fill that post for the 2023/2024 season.
El Muñeco, jobless since his departure from River at the end of last year, has played in various clubs in Europe such as Valencia, Rome or PSG, although this time it seems that the interest of the English is concrete and real. Furthermore, it coincides with one of the conditions that the Argentine coach usually looks for, starting a project from scratch, with a pre-season and planning the assembly of the squad.
Of course, in this race for the Chelsea manager there are two other names that sound strong in England: the German Julian Nagelsmann and the Spanish Luis Enrique.
The ex-Bayern Munich player, expelled from the Teutonic team for a personal problem but at the end of a great season, is liked by the managers even if his youth (he’s 36) plays against him to manage a locker room full of figures and cracked by ego.
Luis Enrique, for his part, traveled to London with a couple of his coaching staff and in England he is said to have met with Chelsea officials to present his football project.
Lampard, acknowledged as one of the ‘Blues’ legends, managed Chelsea for 18 months until January 2021, when he was replaced by German Thomas Tuchel, who later guided the club to ‘Champions League’ victory that season .
The former England international was sacked by Everton in January and will make his debut this Saturday against Wolverhampton in Round 30 of the Premier League. A few days later, on Wednesday 11th, they will visit Real Madrid for the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals.
