You might be right with Naglesmann but for me i think he is ready for that next jump, it will be like you say sink or swim kinda job though with us as it always is.

Arsenal lost to Southampton so things are looking up once more.

The worst time of my life, worst part of Chelsea's history bar none. I would take division 2 1970s Chelsea over that time.

Poor Rafa

To me there are two pretty obvious candidates for Chelsea who’d conceivably take the job. Brendan Rogers has history there (I don’t think it’s super relevant but it seems to count) and I mean he hasn’t really done a bad job at any of his club gigs since and including Swansea. He’s shown flexibility too, his Swansea side were very possession orientated and his Leicester side is adept at counter-attacking, so he could adapt to the players he’s got too.

If they want to go with the in vogue German school, Ralph Hassenhutl has experience in the league already and he’s done a pretty job.

The problem with Chelsea is they seem in desperate need of a coach who has a fully fleshed out system who knows what they want to have their players doing.

On the other hand they have a very star-studded squad and are a prestigious side with high expectations. There aren’t a huge amount of top coaches who are at the cutting edge of the German school who have much experience in those kind of environments. Klopp is obviously off the market, Tuchel seemed to struggle with that side of it, plus clashed with the board at Dortmund, even Nagelsman has built and pushed on Leipzig, so there’s no guarantee he would come off if he’s the man Chelsea are going for.

Naglesmann is a rising star. But he's too raw to manage Chelsea, methinks? He'll struggle to deal with the off-pitch stuff (boardroom, media, English culture, etc). He'll be an AVB v.2? Poch would've been a safer 'next gen' choice, but that boat has sailed.

Nagelsmann is coaching in the Bundesliga for 5 years straight, he isn't raw by any means.

Also, probably coaching RB Leipzig is one way to grow a bit thicker skin and some diplomatic abilities. Of course there's still plenty to learn in PL, but in some ways he's probably more prepared than Lampard for example.

Because you are coming into the biggest league in the world, earning double the money before, working with arguably better players, have the ability to buy even better players and again for me quite easily a way bigger club.

He has aspirations of managing Bayern but they have distanced themselves from him with their latest recruitment and there is no way Real take him with the little experience he has, so a club like Chelsea would be the step he needs to go. Plus gets to work with Werner again and Kai which he has been having his say on recently too.

Might be true, he would help Real a lot tho. Also he might end up at Arsenal as well and get Werner to sign there maybe.
Dont think Chelsea will keep Werner for long.

I think Arsenal will give Arteta a bit longer now as they have seen improvements, and he is trimming the squad up etc etc, so i dont think that Arsenal job will be up for grabs until at least 2021 winter, as he will get to the end of this season comfortably regardless of finishing inside top 4 or not now.

GOAL! CHELTENHAM 1-0 MAN CITY (May, 59)

Holy smokes, Cheltenham 20 minutes away from me haha, big scalp this will be, they are chilling in the lower depths of League 2 (division 4)

And 2-1 City with 3 minutes to go, unlucky Cheltenham!

Real already tried to sign Nagelsmann, he declined.

Edit:
And, as expected, he also turned down Chelsea.

He isn't stupid, he knows that he will get more chances to train a top club in the future and doesn't need to rush things.
