4 of the Best Chelsea FCManagers in History
NicholasFainlight.org @Nick_Fainlight
As the current manager, Antonio Conte is turning a lot of heads.His arrival was met with some apprehension. In his first
management gig for Serie B Arrezo, Conte got sacked only threemonths for lackluster results. Later he took a position at Juventus
and although he went on lead the club from Serie B to Serie Aand eventually to a Coppa Italia victory, he eventually resigned on
very bad terms with the Juventus hierarchy. But sense joiningChelsea, Conte has managed to accomplish a lot.
Carlo Ancelotti
After the departure of Guus Hiddink in2009, Carlo Ancelotti arrived needingto fill some very big shoes. In his first
season at Chelsea, Ancelotti managedto win the FA Cup for the club’s firstever Double-winning season. In thatsame season, Ancelotti lead Chelseain a victory of Manchester United for
the Premier League title. It’sunfortunate that his latter seasonsdidn’t live up to the amazing first
seasons he had (maybe it was theHiddink magic wearing off?), but his
leading the team to their first Double-winning seasons will not soon be
forgotten.via fourfortwo.com
Guus Hiddink
In 2009, Luiz Felipe Sclolari wasmanaging the team with very
underwhelming results. Hiddink signedon for only three months, but in thosethree months he managed to pull theteam from a bottom-rank position to
third place in the Premier League andthe FA Cup. In fact, the Blues lost onlyonce under Hiddink’s expert guidance.In 2015, the Blues were only 2 points
away from relegation when JoseMourinho was dismissed and Hiddink
was once again called back intoaction.

Roberto Di Matteo
When it comes to players turnedmanagers, no one sticks out quite likeRoberto Di Matteo does. As a player,Di Matteo helped helped the Blues to
excel between 1996 and 2000. Then in2001, Di Matteo sustained a fracture.
Though he hoped to join back in 2002,his injury thwarted his plans. He
retired, took some years off, and thenstarted doing some coaching for the
team, which then turned intomanaging for the Blues in 2012. Di
Matteo’s crowning achievement wasthat he landed landed the team both
the 2012 FA Cup and their firstChampions League trophy ever.

Jose Mourinho
Mourinho has a long history with theBlues. He first signed on for a four-year
contract in 2004. At the initial pressannouncement, Mourinho wowed
reporters and fans alike with his poisedconfidence (to contrast with the
abrasive confidence of Conte). In hisfirst season, he introduced new tactics
and managed to land the Blues theLeague Cup for first time in 50 years.
The team went onto win anotherLeague Cup, two league
championships, and one FA cup duringMourinho’s first stretch.

Jose Mourinho
Mourinho left the team in 2007 to thechagrin of many fans. In 2013, after
achieving a lot of success with Milanand Real Madrid, Mourinho returned tothe team for a fantastic season. Whenall is said and done, Mourinho endedup pulling in a whopping six trophies
for the club. I dare say that any successthat Conte has achieved and will
achieve with the team is thanks in largepart to the foundation that Mourinho
had established for the team.
