Chelsea have held talks with former Barcelona and Spain manager Luis Enrique regarding the vacant managerial position at Stamford Bridge after Graham Potter was sacked
Chelsea’s decision to hire Lampard on a temporary basis ‘disappointed’ Enrique, according to AS, who wanted the chance to take on Real Madrid in the Champions League. Under Lampard, the west Londoners suffered a 2-0 defeat to Champions League holders Madrid in their quarter-final first leg at the Santiago Bernabeu and now face an uphill battle to qualify for the semi-finals.
Enrique had two spells with Spain after spending three years at Barcelona, in which he won two La Liga titles and the Champions League. Despite Enrique’s frustration, the former Barca boss remains one of the frontrunners to be Potter’s long-term replacement as the Blues weigh up their options.
Cesar Azpilicueta has already given the green light for Enrique to take charge at Stamford Bridge admitting he played his best games for Spain under the former Barcelona manager. Speaking to Spanish outlet EFE, Azpilicueta said: "There are parts [of the club] who negotiate, that we trust with doing what is best for the club.
"We will see what happens. My best games with the national team were with him [Enrique] as coach."

Todd boehly is stupid! Who's advising Todd boehly???? How can you choose Frank Lampard over Luis Enrique????? What's the difference between Frank Lampard and Potter ??? Chelsea FC have always went after Top managers , Todd Boehly wasn't watching Chelsea FC under Roman Abramovich? Lampard was hired because there was a transfer ban and as soon as it was lifted everyone knew he was gone ! I think Todd boehly has got insecurities, I think he's afraid of Top managers like Tuchel and Enrique because they're not "a yes sir" , you look at him since coming in he went for Potter , Lampard and now they're rumours he want Nagelsman and all 3 are the same , they're just happy to get a fat cheque and also happy to be on the bench for such a big club. Coaches like Enrique and Tuchel are no-nonsense type of managers ,they're not just Coaches but they're fans of football and care much about their reputation. they're so animated and energetic I love them but Todd boehly is afraid of them

Enrique is a one-team wonder. He only succeeded in a team boasting Messi, Neymar, Xavi, Iniesta, etc. The Barca team he coached could win matches on their own without any coach

I guess you dont watch football, How about Spain's National team? The team was sinking, right after the Confederation Cup in 2013 till 2018 World Cup, He revised it and made it competitive in euro 2020, Nation League 2021 and Qatar 2022 with a young squad
