The end of the Premier League season is in sight with Chelsea having just seven matches to complete their term. The Blues fell out of contention for the Champions League trophy when knocked out by Real Madrid, and now in many regards will already be looking towards 2023/24.
There is no shortage of jobs to complete with the west London side required to do extensive work in the transfer window to form a slimmed down squad. More importantly, while the club have placed Frank Lampard in charge until the end of the season, Chelsea need to find a new head coach that shares their vision and to guide the team to a significant improvement next year.
The club, led by Paul Winstanley and Laurence Stewart, have already formed their shortlist and are intent on doing their due diligence as the co-sporting directors make their first appointment, with the club's technical team not in place when Graham Potter replaced Thomas Tuchel in September.
