Diego Simeone is the favourite to become the new Chelsea manager.
Liam Rosenior is facing the sack after the side’s latest defeat, a 1 – 0 loss at home to Manchester United. It was the fourth successive game in which the team had failed to score, and their hopes of qualifying for the Champions League again next season are starting to fade.
Although the 41-year old still has the public backing of the club’s owners, pressure is mounting on all sides.
Meanwhile, speculation is mounting that Simeone could be leaving Atletico Madrid after 15 years at the helm.
Although he has taken them to the Champions League semi-final where they will face Arsenal over two legs, they are off the pace in La Liga, and were beaten by Real Sociedad in the final of the Copa del Rey.
Atletico have new majority owners and they have been signalling that they want the club to head ina new direction away from the Argentine.
