What Pep Guardiola has said about Luis Enrique as Chelsea plot managerial appointment

Luis Enrique continues to be amongst the leading candidates for the vacant head coach role at Chelsea. The Spaniard, who has been out of a job since his contract with his national side wasn't renewed following the World Cup, is just one name on an extensive shortlist.

Former Hoffenheim, RB Leipzig and Bayern Munich boss Julian Nagelsmann is the other standout favourite, whilst Mauricio Pochettino, Carlo Ancelotti and Ruben Amorim are also linked with the job. It is Enrique that offers perhaps the most intriguing proposition, though.

As a more experienced coach than Amorim or Nagelsmann, his success with Barcelona and the youth takeover of Spain offer a well-rounded CV for an elite manager. He has also been compared with Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola by former Blues defender William Gallas.
