Michael Ballack

Rumoured to be the front runner for the director of football position at Chelsea - reporting to Granovskaia. Personally, I'd love him at Chelsea - he certainly knows what it's like to compete at the very highest level. Smart and eloquent in multiple languages too - he would be an incredible ambassador. I think we really need someone in there who can take some of the pressure off the manager having to beg for funds - hopefully he would be that person. And with his strong character I hope the board would listen to him.

Quite happy with this. Ideally it should be someone with an affiliation to the club and obviously Ballack has that.

The backtracking if he does things the same way as Emenalo will be golden.

can someone help me better understand what the role is of a Sporting Director and why Ballack would be a good choice for it?

I think he's had some kinda role with the premier league for the last few years. Like a Chelsea ambassador. I've seen the tweets every game. They've always got the same hashtags. Always tweeting a picture of himself ready to watch the game too. So paid work imo

Micheal Ballack as DOF at Chelsea would be great.

Apart from being an ex Chelsea player im not sure why Ballack should be chosen as a director of football at the club, I'd much prefer Luis Campos.

The Chavy One MB has good links in Germany which might help Chelsea in signing young and talented German players in Bundesliga.Other than that,he is a big legend and he might play a major role behind the scenes and as he does not want to become a manager,his presence will not lead to unrest and insecurity for new Chelsea manager and he will also not be undermined by any new Chelsea manager.

I'd rather have Emile Heskey than Emenalo....

So Ballack being linked with this kind of role with the club is absolutely oustanding!!
