Former Wolves manager Julen Lopetegui was seen at Stamford Bridge during Chelsea’s 1-0 home defeat to Aston Villa. Lopetegui is reportedly eager to make a comeback to English football, keeping a close watch on various job opportunities as some teams face challenges.
While Chelsea may not be a feasible option for Lopetegui due to the likely appointment of Pochettino, he might be considering other struggling clubs like Everton or Burnley.
In his previous tenure at Wolves, Lopetegui showcased commendable managerial skills before encountering a challenging phase towards the end of his tenure. Despite this, he has been linked to more significant managerial positions in the past.
Although he might not naturally fit as a replacement for Pochettino at Chelsea, the pressure on Pochettino could escalate, making the situation worth monitoring.
This underlines Lopetegui’s interest in potential managerial opportunities, especially in a competitive league like the English Premier League.
