Since Jose Mourinho departed Chelsea FC, the team has been in a long state of limbo. Yes, they have a Premier League title under their belts, but they're still a team in a long transitional period. After investing a great deal of money in the squad, Roman Abramovich looked for short-term fixes that could get results with the team he built. Now, those stars that made up Chelsea's best generation are starting to fade off into the sunset, and they need to rebuild.
Andre Villas Boas Is The Right Man For Chelsea FC - We Ain’t Got No History
Enter Andre Villas Boas. The current Porto manager lead his team to an impressive treble last season, and his acumen in the transfer window has been nothing short of spectacular. He’s the kind of young, up and coming manager that a big club could hire to lead a long-term rebuilding process, and that’s just what SB Nation’s Chelsea FC blog We Ain’t Got No History has in mind.
Villas Boas represents the next generation of this Chelsea team, a changing of the guard more than just another man on the merry-go-round. The last few years of managers have essentially been an attempt to squeeze more trophies out of the team that Jose Mourinho built, and the idea has been very different. Win, and win now. Avram Grant was only ever temporary, Phil Scolari was an unmitigated disaster, and Carlo Ancelotti simply was not suited to turn the team over to the youth movement.
Bringing in Villas Boas probably also means buying a few new young players, and it's likely good news for Josh McEachran and other up and coming youngsters in the Chelsea system. This appears to be the dawning of a new day for Chelsea, and many fans seem to be welcoming their potential new boss.
