Just read that Jody Morris (Chelsea U18s) will be his Assistant Manager
Thats a very inexperienced double act... I know we've just had Bowyer and Jackson yet the Championship is a lot harder than League One
sacked a club legend & ex-player in Rowett & replaced by an ex Prem player who has never managed a club & wouldn't know the Championship if it bit him on his arse. I bet the Rams fans are pleased.
Derby never sacked Gary Rowett. He asked to speak to Stoke when the vacancy came up and he walked when he was offered the job.
Laurent Blanc has leaped ahead of Maurizio Sarri in the race to replace Antonio Conte as Chelsea boss.
Former France and Paris Saint-Germain chief Blanc is now the new front runner for the role after the Blues developed cold feet over Sarri’s controversial past.
The Chelsea hierarchy have become aware of Sarri’s homophobic row with new Italy boss - and ex-Manchester City manager - Roberto Mancini.
Sarri, who left Napoli last week, clashed with then-Inter boss Mancini during a Coppa Italia tie last season.
A furious Mancini revealed afterwards: "The confrontation on the touchline? You have to ask Sarri about that.
“He is a racist. People like him do not belong in football. He used racist words.
“I stood up to ask about the five minutes being added on and Sarri shouted ‘poof’ and ‘faggot’ at me. I would be proud to be that if he is what’s considered a man.”
Chelsea have made zero tolerance of racism, sexism and homophobia a major club commitment in recent seasons.
That has seen interest in the 60-year-old Sarri cool and given Blanc the chance to rise up the list.
Strange if they go for Blanc. Was impressive at Bordeaux and won 11 trophies in 3 seasons at PSG but has been out of management for 2 seasons, so why has no one else gone for him? I thought Chelsea would've gone for Luis Enrique.

What, starting once they'd paid off Eva Carneiro and John Terry had left?
"We don't allow racism, sexism or homophobia... starting... Wait, Graham Rix isn't still here is he? No? Good. Starting... NOW!"
Bet Heckingbottom is regretting leaving Barnsley for Leeds, cant believe he has been sacked already
I thought he'd be a good appointment for Leeds... Did really well to get Barnsley promoted in the first place and was just about keeping them in the League despite losing almost all their key players.
The problem for Leeds was the fact they took so long to sell Chris Wood and then didnt replace him
Bridges were burnt between him and the fans when they served notice on his contract 18 months ago. There was an article in The Times on him a few months back and it sounded like he hadn’t really forgiven them for it... especially given that he’s led them to 2 play off finals since. I lived in Exeter for 10 years and watched many of his teams. Hope he ends up at a better club than MK.
Would be great if Abramovich left Chelsea in the lurch and they sank back to that small club of the 70's,now that he has withdrawn his application for a UK Visa. You may gather that I am not too fond of Chelsea.
Interesting that of the longest serving managers, you could definitely say most of the clubs are over-achieving, even if its just the likes of Rochdale hanging on in L1.

You'd expect that to be the case though surely? They are doing well so have been kept on? Haven't been poached I guess though.

Once a manager asks to speak to another club he is as good as gone anyway so get rid.
I thought Chelsea would've gone for Luis Enrique.

I would love it if Chelsea sack Conte only to get Avram Grant back in.

6 years 14 managers(if you count all 4 of Redfearns times)
The problem for Leeds was the fact they took so long to sell Chris Wood and then didnt replace him
Gareth Ainsworth is next on the list
Actually really impressive that Eddie Howe and Sean Dyche are fourth and fifth on the list
Might not be the worst appointment for them actually seeing that he'd just gotten promotion with Macclesfield

Wonder if he'll be asking for Recco on loan?
Seems he was a Player/Coach @ Bath in 2016 yet thats it
What a team
