Former Chelsea manager Gianluca Vialli believes World Cup-winning ex- Italy coach Marcello Lippi is a credible rival to bookmakers’ favourites Guus Hiddink and Marco van Basten for the Stamford Bridge hot-seat.“I think there are a number of managers out there capable of taking them to the next level or winning the things the club wants to win,” Vialli (right) told City A.M.
“Normally there are two options. You either go for someone with a proven track record, and Guus Hiddink, Marcello Lippi and other managers, like Ancelotti before, have that.
“Or you do what Barcelona did with Pep Guardiola three years ago: they took a gamble and took someone who was basically unknown as a manager – and the rest is history.
“Lippi has the experience. He has won the Champions League before, he has got to the final three times, managed the national team and won the World Cup. If you look at his CV it’s difficult to argue that he might not be one of the best candidates.”
