Roman is in no rush

- BY STEVE STAMMERS

CHELSEA are likely to wait until the end of the season to replace Director of Football Michael Emenalo.

Emenalo left last week and there has been talk of a return for Frank Lampard, John Terry, Didier Drogba and Ashley Cole to fill the role.

But owner Roman Abramovich is not known for knee-jerk reactions and will also consult with board members, such as Marina Granovskai­a and Director-Secretary David Barnard.

Granovskai­a was at Cobham last week to make an assessment of the work Emenalo put into his role.

She will report back this week, but indication­s are that Granovskai­a and Barnard will take over the role until May.
