Former Chelsea FC player Felipe Luis is considered a leading candidate for the position of new head coach of the London club.
Idman.Biz reports that, according to insider Fabrizio Romano, the leaders of the "Blues" are seriously considering the option of appointing the Brazilian specialist to the team as early as this summer.
The source notes that Chelsea management considers Felipe Luis a suitable figure for rebuilding the team and shaping a new playing philosophy at Stamford Bridge.
In addition, the rapid development of the former defender's coaching career and his good knowledge of the club's internal culture are highly appreciated. He played for Chelsea in the 2014/15 season.
During that period, the Brazilian footballer played 26 matches for the London club and won the English Premier League and the League Cup.
Negotiations between the parties are reportedly ongoing. Felipe Luis, who left Flamengo in March, is currently without a club.
