[St_Abramovich]

New Blues Boss Carlo Ancelotti Resigns Just Days After Being Unveiled!
​

​

The former AC Milan manager is said to have wanted reassurances that the club’s owner Roman Abramovich could not give him.​

Speculation is rife as to who will be Abramovich’s main man for the coming season.
Names being tossed around include former Blues manager Jose Mourinho, current assistant manager Ray Wilkins and Chelsea legend Gianfranco Zola.

​

New Chelsea Manager Confirmed!

Roman Abramovich has taken a gamble with his latest managerial appointment.

​

The Chelsea board have confirmed the appointment of Antonio Guerra as the latest boss at Stamford Bridge.​

Italian Antonio Guerra has little experience and it remains to be seen whether he can handle the pressures of such a job and tussle with the egos that reside in Chelsea’s dressing room.

The new Blues boss had this to say,

​

“I’m delighted to be given such an opportunity. I am a huge fan of the club and I am living a dream.”​

Chelsea captain John Terry seemed unsure as he spoke to the press,

​

“I am a little nervous to be honest. Appointing a manager with as little experience as Mr. Guerra is a huge risk, but I am totally behind him and hope he will be a success!”

​

The Transfer Window is Open!

​

Today signals the start of the July transfer window and with a new boss Chelsea are expected to make major moves.​

It has been said that the new Blues boss believes that his backup keepers are not good enough and will be in the market with David De Gea a possible arrival.

The Blues boss is believed to be playing with three strikers and will want to strengthen in this area.
Guerra is an open admirer of Sergio Aguero and was quoted as saying,

​

“Sergio is a fantastic talent and would be able to lead the line for years to come!”

​

Guerra wants to play attractive attacking football and will take a complete evaluation of playing and backroom staff.​

Guerra has also ruled out a move for Landon Donovan, ​

“I am not interested in him (Donovan).”

​

-I'm hoping to keep everything in the same style, thanks for any comments and help

Chelsea Pre-Season Special​

Genk 1 vs. 4 Chelsea
​

Experimental moves by Guerra saw him put out a second team and that showed as Chelsea struggled early, but once they got a handle on the game they were ruthless.​

G.Hooper (60) - D.Sturridge (2), N.Anelka (12), J.Terry (69), S.Kalou (80), D.Sturridge injured (67)​

S.Kalou (1, 11), D.Drogba (7,68), L.Traore (37), F.Lampard (50), B.Ivanovic (61), J.Terry (84)​

Chelsea were nearly embarrassed by lowly Pescara as they nearly snatched defeat from the jaws of victory.​

S.Aguero(2)​

-Playing with three new strikers this was understandable-​
