The journey to London of Luis Enrique with his representative and former partner in boat, ivan de la penagave hints about the good feelings that occurred in the first call between the coach and the board of directors of Chelsea. Despite the fact that the ‘blues’ have a long list of technicians filling the vacant position since the sacking of Graham Potter, the former Spanish coach is currently the number 1 option for the position of first coach. All, after a conversation with Lucho who more than convinced the leaders of the London team. But, what did the Chelsea board like?
According to The Independent, Luis Enrique sent “a clear vision of the team” to Stamford Bridge chiefs. Among his ideas, he “explained his plan to establish a high-intensity, high-pressure system, which fits Chelsea’s current young talent squad” and convinced the English club’s managers. Another point in his favor is that he is the only available candidate on the list who has managed to win the Champions League. In fact, he won the treble with Barça in 2014-15.
Why was he ruled out before at Chelsea?
According to the English press, this is not the first time that Stamford Bridge has had an interest in Luis Enrique. Without specifying when, he talks about the fact that there were previous contacts that did not work out because of the Asturian’s ‘top’ salary and his level of English, something that he has worked on in recent years and that will no longer be an obstacle .
A signing that is not quite closed
Despite placing him as the best candidate and the trip to London, in England they assure that it is not a “too closed” decision and that there may still be some surprises. Meanwhile, another Spaniard, Bruno Saltor, remains as caretaker coach and managed to impress Chelsea against Liverpool. And on the horizon is a draw against Real Madrid in the quarterfinals of the Champions League. Whatever happens with Luis Enrique, Bruno Saltor and Chelsea, there will be curiosity.
