“That man in your picture should be your next manager” – Pundit tells Todd Bohely to appoint 43 years old man as Chelsea next manager
Former Premier League star turned television pundit Tim Sherwood has urged Chelsea to appoint Roberto De Zerbi as their next manager.
Things have continued to go from bad to worse for the Blues as they suffered a 1-2 loss against De Zerbi’s Brighton & Hove Albion side on Saturday, April 15.
Chelsea took the lead with Conor Gallagher scoring early but the Seagulls came back to win the game 1-2 as Danny Welbeck and Julio Enciso scored for the visitors.
Former England midfielder Tim Sherwood has urged the Blues to appoint Roberto De Zerbi as their next manager.
The former Tottenham Hotspur manager has also claimed that Graham Potter’s failed stint at Stamford Bridge could be the reason why the West London side are hesitant to make a move for the Italian. Sherwood told Premier League Productions, as quoted by HITC Sport:
“That man in your picture there, I don’t know what Chelsea are waiting for. They need a manager, just go and get him. I don’t want to sell Brighton’s manager again. The only reason why Chelsea might not go for him is that Graham Potter has let them down. But this guy is the real deal. He is the real deal manager. They got £21 million for the other manager and he wasn’t any good.”
Roberto De Zerbi has done a phenomenal job at Brighton & Hove Albion since taking over at the club in September 2022.
The Seagulls were already impressive under Graham Potter but De Zerbi has taken them to the next level.
Brighton have 49 points in 29 games and are very much in the race for a top-four finish.
