In the program, talkSPORT chief reporter Alex Crook talked about Chelsea's coaching change on April 28.
Let’s move on to Chelsea first. Is there any word on who will officially take over?
They are still saying that they will not rush to officially appoint a new coach. But on the list of potential replacements for Rossinier, three names stand out. As we first revealed on talkSPORT last week, Bournemouth coach Elora is undoubtedly at the forefront of the list.
Marco Silva, whose contract with Fulham expired this summer, was offered a three-year contract by Fulham, but he has not signed it yet and he is also one of the potential candidates. In addition, we received news yesterday that Ben Jacobs and I also learned that Chelsea has officially contacted Xavi Alonso's agent to inquire about his coaching intentions. Of course, I think if Liverpool coach is not Slott at the end of this season, Alonso may be a contender for this position, but now it seems that Slott will stay. So you wonder if Chelsea would see this opportunity and try to contact him.
As for Crystal Palace coach Glasner, what is the situation? Is there any news? He will also leave Crystal Palace this summer and become a free agent manager.
I haven't heard of Chelsea being linked with him at the moment, but as far as I'm concerned, Glasner has won trophies at Frankfurt and Crystal Palace. He's ambitious and loves London, which are his strengths. Of course, he's not easy to get along with, but that's not the point.
By the way, so is Marco Silva.
Nothing wrong. I'm really surprised that he's not on the shortlist. Alonso is certainly interesting. We mentioned Alonso yesterday, right? Chelsea really should take that into consideration.
Yesterday, you briefly mentioned Scott Parker, as well as Burnley. What else is new?
No, the conversation is ongoing. I wouldn't be surprised if Scott decides to leave after the season. There are several names that may be on the replacement list. Craig Bellamy is still highly regarded there. I think he has to make a choice – does he want to return to the club to coach, or does he want to lead the Wales team in the European Cup at home? Another name is obviously Steven Gerrard, but there is also talk of him being linked with Bristol City, and I hear there is some basis for that. I predict Gerrard will return to coaching soon, most likely in the Championship.
