Enzo Maresca and Roberto De Zerbi have emerged as the two main choices for next Chelsea manager, with different factions of the leadership making the case for either manager.

Ipswich Town manager Kieran McKenna is greatly admired but, just like at Manchester United, there are some concerns over whether he is quite ready to make this extent of a leap given the greater pressure of one of the Premier League’s biggest clubs.
