Why Andre Villas Boas needs to take it slow at Chelsea? – English Premier League
The new Chelsea manager is in for a rough ride at a club which recently parted ways with Carlo Ancelotti after the Blues failed to win any silverware in the 2010-2011 season. The English Premier League came to a close with another
triumph for Manchester United in the end but it was Carlo Ancelotti who suffered for his team’s misfortunes in the previous season as it was revealed soon after the end of the season that the former A.C Milan manager was relieved of his duties at Stamford
Bridge. Chelsea F.C are a strange football club in this matter.
They are probably the only club in the history of the game to have parted ways with two of the most decorated managers in modern football. In Ancelotti’s case the Italian tactician won the UEFA Champions League twice with A.C Milan
along with several domestic pieces of silverware. It wasn’t that Ancelotti was a total failure at Chelsea as he led the Blues towards English Premier League glory just a season ago in 2009-2010 season, which was also his first season with the club in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749.
Before that Chelsea parted ways with Luiz Felipe Scolari in the middle of the 2008-2009 season where they replaced the Brazilian world cup winning manager with Guus Hiddink who failed to lead the team to the final of the UEFA Champions
League after Chelsea lost out to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 did manage to salvage some pride by winning the F.A Cup.
Before Scolari it was Jose Mourinho who had to face the sack after Chelsea’s season go off on the wrong foot. The Portuguese manager was replaced mid-way through the season with Avram Grant whose Chelsea team fell to Manchester
United in the final of the UEFA Champions League in 2008. All of these replacements and firings have come under the tenure of Chelsea’s owner Roman Abramovich whose obsession with the UEFA Champions League remains to be his main downfall. Now Andre Villas-Boas
has been appointed as Chelsea’s manager to the Russian roulette.
His http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Job-c18684 will include taking Chelsea to the top of the English Premier League but equal focus will be on their UEFA Champions League campaign for the coming season. The Portuguese manager will also be responsible for reinforcing
the Chelsea squad during the present summer transfer window whilst also keeping in mind that Chelsea already spent big in the January transfer window when they dished out 50 million pounds for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Fernando-Torres-c13707.
Moreover at just 33 years old, the new Chelsea manager is inexperienced to put it lightly. He rose to fame at Porto when he led the Portuguese giants to a Portuguese league triumph along with an impressive Europa League win. Regardless,
Chelsea’s new manager is still short of experience at the biggest European stage, the UEFA Champions League. Furthermore, Chelsea’s squad is an aging one. With Drogba, Anelka, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/John-Terry-c18895 already on the wrong end of thirty, the core of Chelsea’s
squad is on their last legs as exhibited by their displays in the 2010-2011 Premier League campaign. It remains to be seen how Villas Boas will do at Chelsea but he really has his work cut out if he wants take them back towards the summit of both European
and domestic football.
