Diego Simeone tells Roman Abramovich his demands for Chelsea job
DIEGO SIMEONE wants total control of transfers if he is to take over at Chelsea, according to reports.
Diego Simeone has been in talks to become Chelsea's new permanent manager
Jose Mourinho was sacked by the Blues last week after a disastrous start to their title defence which sees them in 15th spot in the Premier League table.
Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich swiftly appointed Guus Hiddink on an interim basis and he will be in the dugout for the visit of Watford on Boxing Day (3pm).
But a list of long-term managerial targets has been drawn up which includes Pep Guardiola, who will leave Bayern Munich at the end of the season.
