It has been 3 weeks since the resignation of Jose Mourinho, but no news is yet out from the Blues Board as to who is to take the head coach seat.

Reports from all around the world state that Chelsea Board is in deep talks with several managers and is on wheels to find the necessary Manager for the club. Chelsea Football Club is famous for having Manager instability and it might be one of the reasons for this appointment delay. Till then, Chelsea Interim Manager Steve Holland is busy with the team meeting and training. Holland recently signed two new players, Cesc Fabregas and Diego Costa and is looking for the third target Brazilian Left Back Filipe Luis from Atletico Madrid. Mourinho had been scouting this players since last year and Holland might bring this scouted player in to join his ex-Atletico Madrid team-mate Diego Costa.
