The Asturian coach Luis Enrique MartÃnez could be the one chosen by Chelsea to occupy his bench after the dismissal last weekend of Graham Potter. The JijantesFC twitter account has advanced that the former coach would have traveled to London to negotiate his signing for the Stamford Bridge team along with Iván de la Peña, something that was later confirmed by Fabrizio Romano.
Despite the strong investment made by the London team in the last winter market, the results have not improved in recent weeks and it is in a delicate situation in the Premier League. Chelsea is far from the positions that give access to European competitions this course and their only option to save the course is a Champions League where they will face Real Madrid in the quarterfinals.
The arrival of the Asturian to the bench of the London team is a real possibility, although Chelsea would also be negotiating with Julian Nagelsmann, a former Bayern Munich coach.
In any case, in the event that Luis Enrique signed for Chelsea, his debut would be at the Santiago Bernabéu against Real Madrid in the first leg of the Champions League quarterfinals. A morbid encounter with the coach’s Barca past.
A few dates ago, Luis Enrique confirmed his interest in returning to training and doing it in the Premier. “I have a special attraction for England, I would like to go to England to work. I also follow the big teams in Spain. The English one is an interesting league. Clearly, I am influenced because I would like to work there. But I am not going to deceive you, I am not going to go to any team. I would like to go to a team that can do important things. And there is a lot of world-class coach who wants to go to the Premier. So, I don’t have many illusions, â€explained the Asturian, who could soon see his wishes fulfilled.
