Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho has been given the vote of confidence from owner Roman Abramovich, but that hasn't stopped the Blues from reportedly lining up Diego Simeone.
Roman Abramovich's show of faith will be rewarded by Chelsea returning to form, Jose Mourinho has vowed.
Chelsea are targeting Atletico Madrid manager Diego Simeone to replace Jose Mourinho, according to reports.
Mourinho had been given the vote
of confidence by the Chelsea board and owner Roman Abramovich last
week, but he knows he must turn around the Blues’ poor form if he wants
to stay at Stamford Bridge.
And Chelsea’s precarious start
to the season has prompted the club to assess the possibility of prising
Simeone away from the Atletico.
Simeone would not come cheap
however, he signed a bumper new five-year contract six months ago, with a
£15 million buy-out clause.
Mourinho’s immediate future is
unlikely to be under threat – he only signed a new four-year contract
this summer - but he is reportedly aware of Chelsea’s plan should
results not improve.
Simeone has built up an enviable
record at Atletico, leading the club to a surprise La Liga title in
2014, along with Copa del Rey and Europa League titles.
Atletico also reached the Champions League final in their La Liga-winning season.
