However, he will definitely continue his managerial job at the club. Todd Boehly and Behdad Eghbali believe so much in his prowess.

Chelsea dazzled impressively throughout the 90 minutes against Leeds United. They missed some chances, unable to score more than one goal.

In the absence of Thiago Silva, Reece James, and N’Golo Kante. The Blues were able to balance their performance throughout the game.

They were a bit relaxed defensively in the second-half. Nevertheless, the likes of Koulibaly, Fofana, and Badiashile were brilliant.
