With the immense and increasing pressure on manager Liam Rosenior, Chelsea's management is expected to consider and study all possible options available to begin a new era for the Blues in London.

Chelsea have not won any of their last four Premier League matches, the latest being a loss to Manchester United last Saturday at Stamford Bridge, which has increased the pressure on the players and the coach, and the management is expected to make a firm decision on this matter in the summer.

Diego Simeone is highly regarded by the Chelsea management!

The English club believes that the experienced coach can manage the team in the best way because of the great stability he created with Atletico throughout the years he lived in Madrid, and also because of the great personality that made Atletico compete with league giants like Barcelona and Real Madrid and snatch titles from them as well.

Even though the club has continued to offer public support, unease is steadily building behind the scenes. Poor results keep piling up, and the dream of qualifying for the Champions League is drifting further out of reach.

Diego Simeone, who may be approaching the end of his long reign at Atlético Madrid, has now emerged as the top candidate to take over. Meanwhile, several other big names remain in the conversation as potential successors.
