Jamie Carragher believes Chelsea will name a manager in the coming weeks, but Gary Neville calls it a "nightmare."

While Gary Neville criticized Chelsea chairman Todd Boehly for the way he is managing the team, Jamie Carragher disclosed the manager he expects to replace him at Chelsea. An appointment might happen in the coming weeks.
Frank Lampard, a club legend and former manager, has been named Chelsea's interim head coach after Graham Potter was fired. Lampard wants to help Chelsea advance in the Champions League and finish respectably in the Premier League.
Unfortunately, Lampard and Chelsea might find it difficult to advance through the round of eight in the Champions League. In the first leg of their quarterfinal match, they were defeated 2-0 by Real Madrid at the Bernabeu. The Blues had a solid start, but after Ben Chilwell was sent off, Real Madrid had a strong chance to advance to the semifinals thanks to goals from Karim Benzema and Marco Asensio.
Given that the second leg will be played at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea still has a chance to overcome the two-goal deficit. Given that Real is one of the top teams still competing in the Champions League, it will be challenging to do this.
Chelsea currently holds the 11th spot in the league standings with 39 points. The best Chelsea can realistically hope for is to qualify for the Europa League or Europa Conference League because UCL qualification for the following season has already passed. However, they will need to go on an incredible winning streak in their remaining eight games to do this.
Potential Chelsea managers Mauricio Pochettino and Julian Nagelsmann will probably be watching the team's season to see how it ends.
Neville spoke about Chelsea's managerial situation and their search for a new head coach during his appearance on The Overlap. He believes that selecting Lampard was a wiser course of action than delegating management to Bruno Saltor until the summer.
"That's not right. You still have two months left in the season, so you need to play it right, Neville advised (according to the Daily Mail). "I don't believe Chelsea can afford to simply stick with Graham Potter's No. 2 till the end of the campaign. They had to take action.
Gary Neville described Todd Boehly as "having an absolute nightmare."
They clearly are unable to obtain the desired man. No matter who the coach is—Nagelsmann, Pochettino, etc.
The man Boehly is through a complete nightmare. It's definitely not going well.
Then, Carragher endorsed Chelsea to sign Nagelsmann over Tottenham, even speculating that a decision may be made in the coming weeks.
If we're being completely honest, Carragher said, "I think a manager would choose Chelsea over Spurs if they had a choice." "More opportunities to win, possibly a larger transfer pot.
"I believe they have someone lined up for the summer since they got Frank Lampard in. Because of this, they're replacing Bruno with a proper manager who, unlike Bruno, has had two or three positions elsewhere.
Jamie Carragher believes Chelsea is set to choose their next manager.
"I wouldn't be surprised if news of Nagelsmann's agreement to join Chelsea surfaced in the upcoming weeks, but he needs a little bit of time to prepare and have a preseason.
I could be completely wrong, but doing Frank right away and not giving him at least a week leads me to believe they've already have a summer replacement in mind.
The Premier League would be thrilled to have Nagelsmann play there. Having led teams like Bayern Munich, RB Leipzig, and Hoffenheim, he is regarded as one of the best young coaches in the world.
On March 24, Bayern terminated the 35-year-old from their agreement with them. In spite of this, he wasn't performing poorly at the Allianz Arena.
Bayern trailed Borussia Dortmund by one point at that stage in the German top division. Additionally, they had advanced to the DFB-Pokal and Champions League quarterfinals.
However, even knowing that Thomas Tuchel was available, the Bayern board chose to take action because they did not believe the team was headed in the correct direction under Nagelsmann. As a result of this choice, Chelsea may now gain by handing Nagelsmann his first chance at Premier League triumph.
