When that question was put to Gullit, a man that led Chelsea to FA Cup glory in 1997 as player-manger, toldGOAL while speaking in association withMrRaffle.com: “Yes, because any manager would see what I see and say: ‘I need experienced players. I need a Casemiro, a [Aurelien] Tchouameni. I need these types of players in midfield. I need this kind of experience alongside the young talent’. And if you don't have them, it's going to be a problem.
“The only thing that is certain for a Chelsea manager is that he gets fired. That's the only certainty. And as a coach you have to learn to adapt to the club's philosophy. Does it match yours? And do you get the players you need to do what you want to do?
“Pep Guardiola got all the players he wanted. That's why he's been successful. But if you told Pep, ‘Deal with what we give you’, he wouldn't come. Mourinho wouldn't come. Klopp wouldn't come. [Carlo] Ancelotti wouldn't come. These are people who know exactly what the right formula is.”
