Barcelona fullback Jordi Alba: No surprise if Luis Enrique takes charge of Chelsea

Barcelona fullback Jordi Alba can see Luis Enrique succeeding Antonio Conte at Chelsea.

Barca are at Stamford Bridge this week for the first-leg of their Champions League round 16 tie.

Alba said: “For me, it wouldn't be a big surprise if Luis Enrique took over at Chelsea, because he has the right experience and quality for this kind of club.

Chelsea is a bit like Barcelona – a club where you are always obliged to be a champion. But that kind of pressure doesn't damage the work of someone like Luis Enrique. He is used to it.

“The Premier League is different to La Liga, but I don't think that will be a problem for Enrique. I think he would do well."
