Chelsea is facing a turbulent period, with calls for Mauricio Pochettino's replacement amid inconsistent results and a dwindling chance of European competition next season.
Among the suggested successors are Brighton and Hove Albion manager, Roberto De Zerbi and Sporting CP's Ruben Amorim.
The prevailing sentiment favors Amorim over De Zerbi for Chelsea's managerial role, given the contrasting successes of their respective clubs.
Sporting CP, under Amorim's guidance, tops the Portuguese league with an attacking style that minimizes goals conceded—a hallmark of championship-caliber teams.
In contrast, despite De Zerbi's Premier League experience with Brighton, his team's underwhelming performances despite their attacking approach raise doubts about his suitability for Chelsea.
The general consensus leans toward Amorim due to Sporting CP's impressive league form and cohesive style of play, aligning with Chelsea's aspirations for silverware.
Choosing Amorim over De Zerbi would signal a strategic shift for Chelsea, prioritizing a proven winner and a style of play conducive to title contention.
