New choice for Abramovich

The leadership of the London Chelsea on Sunday decided to resign the head coach Andre Villash-Boisha.

The club, the owner of which is Roman Abramovich, could not withstand the last failures of the team, which rushed in the standings of his championship for fifth place with a lag behind a leader of 20 points. Indecent indicator for the modern Chelsea. The performance of the London club and in the European arena can be called inexpressive. “Chelsea”, although continuing the tournament path in the Champions League, but Villash-Boisha even had to apologize after one of the defeats of his team.

Rumors about the resignation of the mentor of the team crawled some time ago.

The other day, the British media voiced the words of Villasha-Boisha, who declared that he was not going to leave the team voluntarily. True, he said about this before the match with West Bromwich, in which Chelsea suffered another defeat. After this meeting, the cup of patience of the club’s leadership was crowded.

According to the British press, the Spaniards Rafael Benits and Josep Guardiola are now applying for the post of head coach of Chelsea. The first of them is currently not tied to any club. The second in six months, the contract with Barcelona expires.

Andre Villash-Boash is one of the most progressive coaches of the world in modern football. At 33, he became the youngest mentor who won the European Cup. Like his compatriot Jose Mourinho, Villash-Boash does not have a professional football player behind his back, which did not stop him from sparkling in the coaching field. For him, the 2010/11 season was the Riumfal for him in the course of which he led Porto to the title of Portugal champion, his club won the country's cup and the Super Cup, and also won the Europa League, driving in many far from the weakest opponents (for example, in the quarterfinals the Moscow Spartak with a total score of 10: 3 on the sum of two meetings).

Even then, the specialist aroused interest among many European top clubs and received an invitation to lead Chelsea.

Villash-Boash became the seventh coach in the era of Roman Abramovich in Chelsea. The Russian billionaire acquired Chelsea in 2003, and at the end of that season he fired the mentor Claudio Ranieri, which was currently operating at that time. Jose Mourinho was invited to his place, in which the club achieved the highest successes in his history (he won the championship of England twice, the Premier League Cup, and the Cup and Super Bowl of England.

But neither he nor his followers could bring the team to victory in European competitions.

The closest to this was Abraham Grant, under whose leadership Chelsea reached the Champions League final 2007/08, but John Terry’s mistake in a series of post -match fenals in the capital's Luzhniki cost the trophy, the rivals from Manchester United.

In addition, Luis Felipe Skolari, Gus Hiddink worked as the head coach Chelsea under the head coach of Chelsea (the then mentor of the Russian national team was invited for several months), as well as Carlo Anchellotti.

In another London club, however, solving more modest tasks, Fulham, the mood at the moment is much more positive. The forward of the Russian national team Pavel Pogrebnyak, who concluded a contract with Fulham for six months, led three goals for his new team in the match against Wolkupompton, and the team himself won 5-0. Fulham has already stated that they intend to extend the contract with the Russian.
