Chelsea ‘Actively Considering’ Hiring £8m Manager.
The Blues are looking for a ‘dynamic’ manager to lead the young squad in the new campaign.
Chelsea are looking at appointing Leicester manager Enzo Maresca or Ipswich’s Kieran McKenna, with Maresca’s release clause ‘roughly double’ that of McKenna’s, journalist Ben Jacobs has told GIVEMESPORT.
Both managers have been linked with Chelsea recently, after the Blues parted ways with their fourth manager in less than two years, Mauricio Pochettino.
The London side is now actively looking for a ‘dynamic’ manager to replace the Argentinian, and both Maresca and McKenna are understood to be on the list.
Both managers have enjoyed successful spells in the Championship this season and secured promotion to the Premier League.
McKenna, 38, is contracted to Ipswich until 2027 but is likely to seek out a move to a bigger club this summer, with Manchester United and Brighton also interested.
Maresca, 44, led Leicester to the Championship title this season, and the Foxes are already preparing for his departure, as Porto also show interest.
