"Chelsea interim manager Calum McFarlane admitted the last 24 hours have been "crazy" and a "whirlwind" but insists the players will be ready to face Manchester City on Sunday, just three days after former boss Enzo Maresca parted ways with the club. McFarlane, who is the head coach of the Blues' Under-21s team, is set to take charge of the senior side for the trip to the Etihad"
""I'm quite relaxed about it if I'm honest. I'm sure as I get closer to the game it will become maybe more nerve-wracking, more daunting but I haven't worked at this level before of course but the lads today were brilliant and it fills you with confidence that we're all in it together and it's a team effort.""
Calum McFarlane, the head coach of Chelsea's Under-21s, will take charge of the senior team at Manchester City three days after Enzo Maresca left Stamford Bridge on New Year's Day. McFarlane has never managed a senior professional game and described the past 24 hours as "crazy" and a "whirlwind", while calling the experience enjoyable and positive. He said the players seemed focused, driven and hungry ahead of the Etihad trip and stressed a team effort in preparation. McFarlane said he could only speak positively about owners Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital, and media links to Liam Rosenior have been reported.
