Chelsea Eyes Luis Enrique as New Manager, Ziyech’s Future in Focus

Luis Enrique, former coach of Spain eliminated on penalties by Morocco in the round of 16 of the 2022 Qatar World Cup, is expected to be the successor to Englishman Graham Potter, who was fired by Chelsea, the club where Moroccan international Hakim Ziyech plays.
Will Luis Enrique replace Graham Potter, who only lasted seven months on the Blues’ bench? According to several sources, the former Barcelona and Spain coach has arrived in London, accompanied by his agents, to discuss with Chelsea, reports ESPN. While it is true that other coaches like Julian Nagelsmann are on the English club’s radar, Chelsea is making the Spanish technician its priority.
Luis Enrique is very interested in the position. "I mainly follow the Premier [League], because I would like to go work in England. I wouldn’t go to just any team, but to a team that could do important things, which considerably reduces the number," he said last week on the Cadena SER radio.
The Blues are currently at the end of the season and need a coach after the dismissal of Englishman Graham Potter last weekend. They will face Real Madrid this month in the Champions League quarter-finals.
