Carlo Ancelotti
Out of work and living in Vancouver after an unreasonable sacking at Real Madrid, the Italian has already been sounded out by Chelsea intermediaries, who of course know him from his first title-winning spell at the club from 2009 to 2011. A psychological master at soothing egos, which is what the current squad need given their aversion to Mourinho’s confrontational style of management. Ancelotti is basically a guarantee of both attractive football and the type of football that at least gets you into the Champions League places. More than anything, the man to calm the current chaos.
Negatives: Maybe tempted to rather sign for Milan if Mihajlovic is sacked as he enjoys a much cult status among the Rossoneri fans.
