One of Chelsea’s reported targets for the new manager’s job has held private talks with another Premier League club.

The Blues are still looking for a permanent replacement for Liam Rosenior, who was sacked last month.

First-team coach Calum McFarlane has taken over on an interim basis, but Chelsea are expected to look at other options for a new appointment.

Name both Andoni Iraola and Cesc Fàbregas have been strongly linked with the post, while Xabi Alonso is currently out of work after being sacked by Real Madrid and is reportedly still on the club’s payroll until the end of the season.

Iraola, meanwhile, has announced he will leave Bournemouth at the end of the season, while Fàbregas is trying to steer Como into the Champions League for the first time in their history. club.

Chelsea risks being left without European football next season, as it is currently in eighth place. This makes it even more difficult to attract a top-level European coach, so the club could also look at a former player for the bench.

Flamengo coach Filipe Luís, who played for Chelsea in 2014-2015, has been mentioned as an option for the future at Stamford Bridge.

Fabrizio Romano has previously reported that Iraola is “eager” to take charge of Chelsea, although his situation may change depending on other developments in the market for coaches and big clubs.

Iraola, former Athletic Club player and 7-time representative of Spain, has also spoken earlier about the balance between career and family, hinting that big career decisions are not only professional, but also personal./Express
