Breaking New: Chelsea legend reviews why Mourinho is the best decision to take: Jose Mourinho prepares for Chelsea return as Pochettino’s replacement

Breaking New: A Chelsea legend explains why choosing Mourinho is the right choice: As Pochettino steps down, Jose Mourinho gets Chelsea ready for their comeback.

Following the draw at Brentford, Chelsea’s perspective on Mauricio Pochettino and his future changed.

As the anniversary of former legacy manager Graham Potter’s firing approaches, rumors persist that Todd Boehly and Clearlake would prefer that he finish the season, but they are also reportedly working behind the scenes on a potential successor for the current legacy manager.

Chelsea will require a new manager following Pochettino’s unavoidable dismissal.
The club reportedly has two favorites, Roberto De Zerbi and Ruben Amorim, but we have no interest in either of them. In a week when Claude Makelele has lamented the absence of that most enigmatic and elusive of Big Club necessities: DNA, Jose Mourinho and Thomas Tuchel have both been fictitiously linked with a return to Stamford Bridge.

The True Chelsea fan ranked former managers according to how much they would be welcomed back. In a desperate attempt to receive an injection of that crucial DNA, it’s also essentially a ranking, beginning with a man who lacks any of the characteristics and going all the way up to the man who bleeds blue, along with white, red, blue and black stripes, and a sort of warm, deep red that is mostly blue.

We’ve included the interim managers because there have been some amazing performances, but we’ve restricted the list to Roman Abramovich/Todd Boehly appointments who have managed multiple games, so none of your Steve Hollands or Bruno Saltors.

13) Maurizio Sarri
He purchased and trusted Jorginho. He pressed from the front and played patient, progressive football. Callum Hudson-Odoi did not receive enough playing time from him. These three Chelsea offenses rank among Sarri’s worst.

Jorginho’s contribution to Chelsea’s Champions League victory helped him later win the UEFA Player of the Year award. Most of the best teams now play football in a manner akin to Sarri’s. These days, Hudson-Odoi only has a supporting role at Nottingham Forest. Nevertheless, “F*** Sarriball.”

They won the Europa League, finished third in the Premier League, and most likely would have won another trophy if Kepa Arrizabalaga hadn’t been a highly sought-after player. Nevertheless, “F*** Sarriball.” He was the football hipster’s choice—too cool, too thoughtful. Please, more fervor.

Andre Villas-Boas (12)
Charged with bringing in a new era at Chelsea, he gradually decreased the participation of club legends. The supporters took offense, and he was fired. Roberto De Matteo then brought the legends back into the fold, and the team went on to win the FA Cup and the Champions League, with the legends essentially leading the team to those victories.

It turned out that Jose Mourinho, the new one, was anything but.

11) Potter, Graham
His reputation has endured despite this—he is presently Manchester United’s top choice to succeed Erik ten Hag—largely because it is obvious to everyone without blue-tinted glasses how challenging his work was. Without a preseason, an absurdly large but uneven roster, full of players who had given up on the team, a winter World Cup—he was in serious trouble.

However, similar to Sarri and Villas-Boas, he lacked the necessary rage and touchline bravado to be viewed by Chelsea supporters as a legitimate manager. If they had known about the brilliant connection the players made between their manager and a fictional wizard prior to his dismissal, they would have surely been yelling Expelliarmus from the stands.

10) Scolari, Luiz Felipe
Although it was widely believed that the language barrier was a problem, Scolari disputes this and places the blame on Nicolas Anelka for his refusal to move to the wing in order to make room for Didier Drogba, who had been injured. Scolari recalled, “That situation created a bad environment – I got upset.”

“The results and performances of the team appeared to be deteriorating at a key time in the season,” according to Chelsea, which is why Scolari was fired. They were five points off the top spot, had only lost four of their twenty-five league games, had advanced to the Champions League knockout stages, and were still in the FA Cup. That performance falls short of expectations, which reflects the club’s winning mentality then as opposed to today, as does our recollection of Scolari’s lackluster Chelsea tenure.

9) Avram Grant
The most successful permanent manager in Chelsea’s history is standing here. With a win percentage of 67%, he surpasses everyone else and is on par with Mourinho during his first spell. Grant’s Chelsea lost just one of 31 top-flight games from that point on, at a rate of 2.4 points per game. This put an extra stud or two on John Terry’s boots from winning the Champions League. Grant’s Chelsea had lost his first two Premier League games as manager, which he could fairly reasonably attribute to the lit match Mourinho threw behind him on exit.

In retrospect, it seems like nobody could fail back then, even though his later work with Portsmouth and West Ham didn’t exactly fit with the ill-fated genius reputation he had built at Chelsea. The club is currently going through a phase where people are doubting whether anyone could succeed.
