Earlier, the former Barcelona manager visited London to attend a meeting with Chelsea officials. However, it has now been decided by the club that Enrique might not be the perfect fit for the role. No one knows, what Chelsea are expecting from their next manager, but rejecting a treble-winning coach is not something fans would have thought of.
Luis Enrique won 9 trophies at Barcelona, including 1 Champions League and 2 La Liga trophies. The Spanish manager had a winning percentage of over 76 during his Barcelona days.
Enrique also managed the Spanish national side twice. During the 2nd run, he guided the young side of Spain to the Euro 2020 semifinals and to the finals of the UEFA Nations League 2020-21, which they lost against Spain.

Former Bayern Munich manager Julian Nagelsmann is also out of the race for the managerial role at Chelsea. Meanwhile, Argentinian boss Mauricio Pochettino remains the favorite candidate at Stamford Bridge. It seems like Chelsea owners are looking for managers who have already proved their worth in the Premier League.
Pochettino managed Tottenham Hotspur from 2014 to 2019. In his reign, Spurs finished as runner-up in the Champions League and in the Premier League. Moreover, in his last spell at PSG, he won three trophies including a Ligue 1 title.
Pochettino is without a club since July 2022 and Chelsea might become his next destination. Chelsea will be under Frank Lampard until the end of the season and then the new manager will take over.
