Chelsea are once again looking for a new head coach after sacking Liam Rosenior last month, with the 41-year-old lasting less than four months in the job.
Rosenior is the second head coach to leave Stamford Bridge this season following the departure of Enzo Maresca in January.
Marco Silva addresses Chelsea speculation
Calum McFarlane has been placed in interim charge for the remainder of the season, whilst the sporting directors conduct their search for a new head coach.
It’s understood there are seven or eight names under consideration, with Andoni Iraola thought to be an early front-runner.
Silva is also reportedly a candidate for the job, with the Portuguese boss out of contract with Fulham at the end of the season.
The 48-year-old is yet to sign a new deal, and it’s thought he’ll leave the club at the end of the season after five seasons at Craven Cottage.
Speaking ahead of Fulham’s game against Arsenal, Silva was asked about speculation linking him with Chelsea, and admitted he pays no attention to it.
“I don’t pay any attention,” he said as quoted by the Hounslow Herald.
“We have decisive games ahead, and all the focus is going to be on Arsenal and what we have to do against them.”
