"He's the next Carlo Ancelotti!"—World class Chelsea star tipped to become a Manager in the future.

 The defender has been tipped to become a Manager in future. 

Chelsea defender, Thiago Silva has been tipped to become a'quality' manager in the future. This of course comes after his excellent display against Nottingham Forest. On a day when everything seemed to work against Chelsea, the 38-year old was the only positive from the 1-1 draw against Newly promoted Forest. 

Whilst composing his BBC Team of the Week, Pundit Garth Crooks prophesised the Brazilian to potentially have a managerial career which mirrors that of Carlo Ancelotti.

Thiago Silva had worked under the former Chelsea Manager while at AC Milan and PSG.

 He is definitely a student of the current Real Madrid coach. He has also worked under great minds such as Thomas Tuchel and Massimiliano Allegri. 

Speaking to BBC about Thiago Silva, Garth Crooks said: “I see all the qualities of a future manager in Silva and one day even another Carlo Ancelotti.”

Thiago Silva has also spoken highly of Carlo Ancelotti in the past. Speaking ahead of the Blues' clash vs Everton in December 2020, the 38-year old revealed how Ancelotti helped him settle down in Europe:

He’s someone who I really love,’ the 36-year-old said.

‘I’m really happy to have worked with him at Milan and PSG but at Milan even more so because I’d come from Brazil, straight from Fluminense to Milan, and in the first six months I was unable to play because the slots for non-EU players were full.

‘I just trained in these six months and Carlo took me to every game. He said that I had to gel as soon as possible and he gave me a piece of advice which I remember as if it were yesterday. He said to me, “Thiago, firstly learn the language and I’ll take you to all of the games, even away games, so that you can observe Maldini a bit.”

‘So I learnt Italian and then looked at the way Maldini played. He was already 40 at the time but he was playing really well so I had a great learning experience. Maybe Maldini knows nothing of this, that Carlo said this to me, but my first six months were just studying the theory and the practice alongside top defenders and especially one of the best in history.

‘Carlo has contributed a lot to my growth in Europe over the years I’ve been here, playing at the highest level. I owe this to Ancelotti.’

Eleven years after they first met, Much has changed since their San Siro days, with Thiago Silva now the veteran passing on his knowledge and experience to a younger generation eager to learn.

‘I feel proud because they’re young players who see you as an inspiration and want to follow in your footsteps,' he added. 'This happened at PSG with Thilo [Kehrer], [Pascal] Kimpembe and Marquinhos. It’s happening here with Zouma and I think it’s the case for others as well.

‘It means I have more responsibility and I have to give my all so that they keep seeing me as an inspiration. So it’s a source of pride but also a big responsibility.’

No doubt, with his wealth of experience, Thiago Silva will become a Manager in the future.

 NoNI Madueke reveals he got his self-confidence from his Nigerian dad, while telling the story of his childhood, and his rise to football success.  Chelsea star, Noni Madueke has disclosed in an interview, the source of his self-confidence. Recall, Chelsea had signed Madueke from PSV Eindhoven in the just concluded transfer window. While he's yet to get more playing time, Noni Madueke has clearly impressed with the few minutes given him to perform.
