Chelsea: 5 Reasons Why Blues Should Go For Jurgen Klopp Instead Of Mourinho

5. He's One Of The Best Young Coaches In Europe

Klopp When Jose Mourinho first took over at Chelsea in 2004, he was considered one of the best young coaches in world football. At the age of just 41, he had already lifted the Champions League with Porto and further successes in the Premier League with the Blues and yet another Champions League win with Inter Milan cemented him as one of the most successful young managers in history. Jurgen Klopp has had a similarly successful spell in his short career. He was 41 when he guided Dortmund to what would be the first of two successive Bundesliga championships and in his first year as manager of the German outfit won the DFB-Supercup. Both have one thing in common, they're successful managers - but Klopp is five years younger than Mourinho and maybe that little bit hungrier as a result. Chelsea have a track record for success when appointing young managers - Jose Mourinho, Roberto Di Matteo, could Jurgen Klopp become the latest young manager to guide the Blues to glory?
