Chelsea warned off Cesc Fabregas appointment having already seen one ‘wonderful young manager’ flop in the form of Liam Rosenior

Chelsea have been warned off appointing Cesc Fabregas as their next manager, with the former Blues star considered to be in need of more experience as his current Como side have a tendency to “fall apart” in big games. Tony Dorigo has explained to GOAL why an alternative option would be better at Stamford Bridge for now, allowing a familiar World Cup winner to retrace steps to west London at some point further down the line.

Having parted company with Enzo Maresca and Liam Rosenior during the 2025-26 campaign, Chelsea find themselves in the market for another head coach. Demanding owners, with Todd Boehly heading up that team, need to restore stability in a dugout that has seen a revolving door installed.

Various names have been added to the mix, with the Blues still boasting plenty of appeal despite slipping out of the Premier League’s top seven this season. Big money is always made available in any given transfer window, which allows incoming bosses to put their own stamp on things.
