Super-agent Jorge Mendes tells Chelsea board to hire 49-year old League winner!

Jorge Mendes has put Porto head coach Sergio Conceicao forward as a possible Chelsea replacement for Mauricio Pochettino

CHELSEA will be searching the globe in hope that they can bring in a new manager quickly in order to get the club back in the hunt for Champions League football next season, and maybe a trophy too.

Former Brighton boss Roberto DeZerbi has been tipped to be the man to replace Pochettino at Chelsea, but the likes of Thomas Tuchel, Thomas Frank and even Jose Mourinho have all been linked with a move to London.

But according to a report from The Mirror, it has suggested to the American that Conceicao would be a good option to appoint as the next Blues boss.

Conceicao, 49, took charge of Porto seven years ago and is contracted to the club until 2028. The former Portugal player has won three league titles as the club’s manager and lifted the Taca de Portugal on three occasions, too. He has also been linked with the AC Milan job this summer.

CHELSEA will be linked with so many top managers in the next few months – so many names will get linked – but at the end of the day the club are in a mess under the board and the next manager will struggle just like Pochettino did.

Conceicao has been doing a decent job over at Porto and is one of the best bosses in the League – but it is probably not the best idea to bring him to the Premier League a she would struggle with the tactics that he likes to play.

Chelsea need a proven – top level coach that has won alot of trophies and is good with working under a tight budget, and with young players, but the problem is that there are not too many out there that will be able to handle all of that.

The Chelsea fans must be hating on the board right now.
