Ex-Arsenal star, Ian Wright has warned Chelsea that they may be
unable to lure the best managers in the world to the club if they part
ways with coach Antonio Conte this summer. DAILY POST recalls
that Juventus manager, Massimiliano Allegri is ready to leave Italy and
replace his countryman, Antonio Conte at Chelsea.
Wright noted that
the Premier League champions could find it hard to bring in a big
manager to the club if the Blues owner, Roman Abramovich eventually
sacks Conte at the end of the season.
“It remains one of the game’s
most glamorous jobs. But if probably when Antonio Conte leaves Stamford
Bridge at the end of the season, the Chelsea hot-seat is also in big
danger of being an appointment far from the no-brainer it once was,”
Wright told The Sun, UK.
“Chelsea will still be in the mix for the
major trophies every couple of seasons or so. Yet I honestly believe
that when club owner Roman Abramovich is scouring the world for his next
manager, he may find the goalposts have moved somewhat.
“So much so
that he may have to look at those bosses just below the top level, not
the marquee names who were previously so easy to attract.
“The reason? Well that has to be down to the attitude of the power brokers at Stamford Bridge and how they run the club.
“It
is going to be an interesting summer in west London and the likelihood
of no Champions League football won’t make it any easier to attract
people, believe me.
“Conte himself won’t struggle for another club
because he HAS won the title, because he has a great CV and because of
the very nature of how things work at Chelsea.
“Yet anyone seeking
his opinion before deciding whether to add their name to that
ever-growing list will hardly get the most glittering reference.
“The top brass at Stamford Bridge can blame nobody else for that but themselves.
