1 week ago 2

NBC pundit Robbie Mustoe has questioned what the environment is like at Chelsea and who the ownership’s ideal coach actually is.

Chelsea are once again looking for a new manager following the parting of ways with Enzo Maresca on Thursday.

Maresca spent 18 months in charge at Stamford Bridge in which time he returned the club back to the Champions League, and won both the Club World Cup and Conference League.

It’s believed Chelsea view Rosenior as their “ideal” coach, but given his lack of experience, especially at the top level, it represents another huge gamble.

Following Maresca’s departure questions have once again been asked about the club’s ownership and what the project actually is.

NBC pundit Mustoe has questioned what the environment must be like a for a manager at Chelsea, and what the ownership are actually looking for.

“All I would say is what’s the environment like at Chelsea Football Club as a manager, what’s it like? Who do they want, who is their perfect guy?” he told NBC Sport.
