Overview
- Emmanuel Petit, a former Chelsea midfielder, called the club "a mess" and urged Como coach Cesc Fàbregas not to accept the vacant job.
- Fàbregas has been linked to the role but said he is very committed to Como and views a move as unlikely right now.
- Chelsea named Under-21 coach Calum McFarlane as interim head coach after firing Liam Rosenior for a run of five league defeats without scoring.
- Reporting indicates Chelsea is compiling a shortlist of roughly five to ten names as the search for a permanent manager gathers pace.
- Fàbregas has guided Como to fifth in Serie A, which draws interest from major clubs but also strengthens his case to keep building the project in Italy.
