Cesar Azpilicueta sends 13-word message on Luis Enrique amid next Chelsea manager rumours

Cesar Azpilicueta has dropped a possible hint on his preference for the next Chelsea manager. The Blues defender will play under his 12th head coach at Stamford Bridge when Todd Boehly appoints Graham Potter successor.

After joining in August 2012, the Spaniard has been a regular in the defence at Stamford Bridge for the likes of Thomas Tuchel, Jose Mourinho and Maurizio Sarri, and will stay at the club until 2024 after signing a contract extension last summer.

Frank Lampard has taken up the role on a temporary basis until the end of the season with the club hierarchy continuing their hunt for the next permanent boss. Luis Enrique and Julian Nagelsmann have been named as the frontrunners with Mauricio Pochettino also linked.
