Brazil rule out Luis Enrique... who could join Chelsea if Potter leaves

The former Barcelona coach is weighing up what his next job will be after leaving Spain

Luis Enrique is no longer on the shortlist to be the new Brazil coach. The fact that the Confederaçao have decided to wait until July, when the European season ends, meant that the Asturian coach went from being a priority to a disposable option.

Lucho, therefore, can focus on other professional options, some of which are as appetising as that of the Seleçao. One place that may be free soon is that of Chelsea, who are struggling in the Premier League and are on course to miss out on European competition next season, despite the squad they have put together in the January transfer window. Coach Graham Potter is under immense pressure.

Going to Stamford Bridge would be a perfect fit for the former Barça man, who, despite the fact that he didn't do well at the World Cup in Qatar, keeps his international prestige intact, despite what the Madrid media may think. 

Zidane, who was also on the CBF's list because of his friendship with Ronaldo 'Fenómeno', who wants to use his fame to influence the appointment of the new coach, is also in the running for the Blues. If Florentino Perez sacks Ancelotti, he will be the new coach of the Seleçao.
