Luis Enrique, favourite to be the next manager of Premier League football giants Chelsea, also happens to be an incredible athlete.

Since then, Enrique has seemingly been enjoying his time away from managing with adventure races such as the Cape Epic. The former Barcelona and Spain coach, known for his incredible stamina during an illustrious career that included stops at Barca and their great rivals Real Madrid, completed a full-distance race at IRONMAN Frankfurt back in 2007. The eight-day mountain bike stage race, which covers more than 400 miles, is just one of many endurance feats the Champions League winning manager has tackled.

Chelsea will need to consider the circumstances around Nagelsmann’s demise at Bayern. The 52-year-old won the treble with Barcelona in 2015 and favours a quick, attacking style, although Chelsea will ponder whether much of that Barça side’s success was owed to having Lionel Messi, Luis Suárez and Neymar in attack.

Chelsea are interested in Luis Enrique as they hunt a permanent replacement for Graham Potter. · Chelsea interim coach Bruno Salter reviews the Liverpool game.

“It's difficult to enjoy this type of experience because you’re really focused on the game. "We created enough chances to win the game. The chances, the boys gave everything, they gave their heart and you can't ask for more. We will just focus on every day.

I tried to help the players from the touchline as much as I could. "I’m going back home to rest and focus on the next game. However, his arrival at Stamford Bridge is far from guaranteed with Julian Nagelsmann posing a threat to his chances of taking the job. Speaking after that game, the 42-year-old singled out for players for praise - despite his side’s failure to win the game. Nagelsmann is said to be Enrique’s main rival for the job, with the German also on the market following his recent departure from Bayern Munich. Chelsea were apparently ‘delighted’ with what Enrique had to say, with the former midfielder laying out his vision.
