Jimmy Floyd Hasslebaink - Rising as a Manager

Abramovich searches for new Head Coach!

Abramovich has said that following the leaving of Rafeal Benitez, he wants to find the man that will make his club achieve success. He has already said Mourinho will not be hired! It is already known by the public that it will be a tough person to find and he wants to spend more that 24 hours (like Benitez) before hiring a new Coach as he wants the decision to be well thought out.

He has not specified who will get the job but many people have been linked with the job, including former Chelsea players.

Odds:
Roberto Mancini 3/1
Alex Ferguson 5/1
David Moyes 5/1
Frank Lampard 6/1
Jimmy Floyd Hasselbank 8/1
Gus Poyet 11/1
Ray Wilkins 14/1

Good luck

Good Start

How does SAF get on the list? Why not JT?

Chelsea appoint Hasselbaink

Chelsea have appointed former Chelsea and Leeds striker Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink has been appointed as the new Chelsea Head Coach. He was appointed after Benitez's contract expired in June; Hasselbaink will be having his first press conference within the next two days to dicuss jobs and maybe even transfer targets.

Abramovic has set the new boss a budget of believed to be over 50 MILLION in which to build up the squad and win some trophies. Hasselbaink's main mission that he has been given is to win at least 1 trophy this season or at least reach a semi-final/ top 4 of the league. Champions League probably top 8

If I were you I would sign Falcao for Chelsea as he was very successful for me when I did a save with them, scored 61 goals for me! Also Samuel Umtiti is very good but you might not be able to get him and Falcao. Good luck and im looking forward

Hasselbaink's First Press Interview

Reporter: R
Hasselbaink: JFH


R:
First of all, how does it feel to be the new manager of Chelsea?

JFH:
I am absolutely delighted as it is a club I admire and have also played for!

R:
Now, you're only 40. Do you think that being a young manager might prevent you from success?

JFH:
No. I think that being younger I have an advantage over the other managers. I have a younger mind which will hopefully outsmart other managers.

R:
Who do you plan to sell?

JFH:
It's a tough one, becuase Chelsea have such a strong squad and it's hard to keep morale up when a player leaves but I do have a few people who I wish to sell.

R:
Could you reveal who you plan to bring in?

JFH:
(laughs). Yes. I do have a few players in mind.

R:
Who are they?

JFH:
All I can say is that I am after a Right-Back. Central-Midfielder and a couple of Strikers.

R:
Because of the cost of players being really high. How will you cope?

JFH:
All the deals I plan to do I will use future fees so I don't pay the whole sum of money at the same time. Some money paid over 4 years.

R:
That's all. Thank you!

JFH:
Thanks.

Chelsea FC have announced the signing of young Barcelona full-back Martin Montoya. The 21 year old defender has signed for Chelsea on a 14m deal. This deal includes 9m being paid now and 5m to be paid over the next 48 months. It is believed that this young player has the potential to be special and the move was said to be quite cheap.

Hasselbaink stated:
"I am very happy to welcome Martin to the club and to enter him into my squad and I really hope he can make an impact and make players fight for their place"

Montoya said:
"Really pleased to sign on with Chelsea. I was delighted to be at Barcelona but I feel that here in London; I have more of a chance of playing and all I want is first team football"

Chelsea snap up experienced 'keeper

Chelsea have made their second signing of the season with Juventus' 34 year old 'keeper Marco Storari. Hasslebaink has brought him in to be backup goalkeeper to Petr Cech. This deal cost the club just over 1m pound.

Hasselbaink said:
"He will surely give us some squad depth in the goalkeeper position and in cup games he could get a few first team appearances"

Storari stated:
"I am happy to join Chelsea and move to London. The move will help me in many ways, not just the football but to live in such a great city as well. I also hope to challenge Cech for some first team football but it's all up to the gaffer"

Chelsea strengthen attack with Soldado!

The third signing of the summer for Chelsea is Valencia striker Roberto Soldado. He has joined the club on a deal worth 27m. This deal includes an up straight payment of 10m with 17m to be paid over the next 48 months.

Hasslebaink said:
"We really needed another striker to strengthen our attack. We approached many strikers including Cavani, Higuain and Lewandowski. All of their fees were extremely high and one of them wouldn't leave the club. Cavani was too expensive, Higuain would't join, but Soldado was just right (laughs)"

Soldado stated:
"To join Chelsea is something I am really happy to happen. I really hope I can help Chelsea to fight for the premier league title once again!"

Decent signings, not sure why you'd need Storari though, assuming you have Schwarzer

So how long are you planning to stick to the story this time? One week? Three days?

Good question. Now in real life, i'm now in October, and there's something abut this story that I just love doing! I'm really wanting to stick to it!

2013-07-20 22:40#121302 Rablador : Decent signings, not sure why you'd need Storari though, assuming you have Schwarzer

Sadly, we don't have Schwarer. But we needed a better backup 'keeper than Turnbull and Hilario. Besides, it was the director of football who brought him in. I scouted him and he looked good!

Chelsea splash cash on Thiago

http://www.sportsbully.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/792176_sport-fotbal-spanelsko-barcelona-thiago-alcantara.jpg

Chelsea have splashed out a huge amount of dosh to sign up Barcelona's young midfield talent Thiago Alcantra for a total fee of 30.5m. This will include 12m being paid straight away and 18.5m being paid over the net 4 years.

Hasslebaink stated:
"Thiago is a great, young talent who can pass the ball, work well as a team but most of all, score goals. The only doubt is the fact of him being injury prone in the past but hopefully this won't effect him and his progress at the club.

Thiago said:
"I am delighted to join Chelsea football club and to join the club and I hope to succeed well and make good progress not just as a footballer but as an overall person!"
