I’m backing Ruben Amorim as the next Chelsea manager. My next choice would be a coaching duo of Xavi and Cesc Fabregas. None of the other names linked really appeal to me.

Amorim to me makes sense largely for his persona, his experience (albeit in a poorer league), his record and achievements, the fact he’s been co-signed by our best ever manager Jose Mourinho, and the fact that I think a back three would suit our defence and our attack.

A setup something like this….

The areas left blank are where I believe we need to sign in to make this work. A left wing-back/hybrid winger, a striker, and a goalkeeper.

We would have depth and obviously Wesley Fofana will be competing for two if the centre back positions too depending on how he returns from injury. Nicolas Jackson too for the striker spot. Even if we signed Michael Olise, Berechi Eze, or another attacking midfielder, they can all play in any of the two 10 roles as starters or competition.

Anyway, don’t take my word on Amorim being the guy we need, listen to some experts…
