In London, they don't rule it out! Chelsea sets its sights on Marcelo Gallardo.

After leaving River Plate, Marcelo Gallardo continues to search for the best options to continue his career as a coach. Although Paris Saint-Germain did not want to add him to their ranks after the departure of Mauricio Pochettino, the 'Muñeco' chose to reject the proposal and look for better alternatives. However, one of the objectives of the Argentine strategist is to join an elite team, and it seems that a historic Premier League club is closely following his situation.

As it is remembered, his great campaign with the 'Millonario' positioned him as a strong candidate for any top European club, he even coached Cristiano in a friendly match in Saudi Arabia. That is why his name has started to be heard in the Premier League, specifically in London.

According to English media reports, Marcelo Gallardo is on the list of options to take over as Chelsea's coach, following Graham Potter's departure. The English club hired Frank Lampard, a player icon, to take on the role. However, in his first conference this Friday, the same coach made it clear that he arrived at Chelsea "to influence this period. Afterwards, we will see".

On the other hand, the rumors are growing, as the 'Muñeco' is preparing along with his coaching staff. It is even said that the Argentine is intensifying his English, although he will always have a translator with him at the club he arrives at.

Marcelo Gallardo's other options

It is necessary to mention that Chelsea is not the only club where the name of Marcelo Gallardo has been mentioned. PSG, a few weeks ago, was interested in acquiring the services of the 'Muñeco', but the coach himself ended up rejecting the offer, because the Qatari owners of the French club have a specific name in mind that remains a secret.

The most attractive thing for the former River Plate coach is that he is positioned to lead a top European club. After his great work in the Argentine Professional League, it is very common for his name to be mentioned alongside other names such as Luis Enrique, Pep Guardiola, Jurgen Klopp, Antonio Conte, among others. However, the coach is analyzing the best options and will make a decision calmly.
