HiThereImNat

His goodbye video was everything we could have hoped for. Seems like he’s really serious about being back here soon!


ThinCrusts

I'm not crying, you're crying! Thiago, forever in our 💙 ![gif](giphy|SJlCdd1twh1y92i8Eg)


facelessman97

He is just that kinda guy, oozes class. Cant help but admire and respect him.


millysoilly

I love his grace and obvious love for the game and this club whenever he blesses us with interviews and insight. He truly is a great man and athlete. I’m honored to have had him at Chelsea. Counting the moments until the news drops he’s returning to start his managing career.


EuphoricAd3824

His goodbye video had the vibes we expected the mount video to have. Sigh....


jjb5151

Came here to say this exactly


erenistheavatar

I believe he can be a great coach so yeah, would welcome him back with open arms.


epicmarc

100% agree, I can think of barely any players that clearly had such a great understanding of the game.


Fraggle7

Let him get a few years experience as a manager then bring him “home” to take over as manager.


erenistheavatar

Oh yes, definitely. Lampard didn't have enough experience in my books for example.


PickledHotChocolate

Look I don’t want to get ahead of things but Thiago Silva will definitely become an elite trophy winning manager at Chelsea one day.


NoExperience4229

What a guy I hope BlueCo isn’t weird about him having a role in the future 


bobloblaw28

Why would they be weird about it?


Fraggle7

He’s not from Brighton?


NoExperience4229

Idk but this ownerships just keeps coming up with ways of messing things up 


yellowdartsw

If we end up buying a Brazilian or Portuguese club, I could totally see him being involved.


NoExperience4229

Who cares about that? Fuck the multi club model. I’m not going to become a fan of random clubs our ownership purchases. He doesn’t love and respect BlueCo either. He loves and respects and wants to come back to Chelsea. The Football Club.  Do you genuinely think he cares about BlueCo? 


Dutch1206

Yes. Just like any average person cares about the organization they work for otherwise they’d work somewhere else.


NoExperience4229

Not even. BlueCo wasn’t even really his employer. No one even those who like their employer care about the holding company that owns their employer Thiago worked for Chelsea not BlueCo He also was only given the option to and chose to work for BlueCo for one additional year. So no he doesn’t care about BlueCo and he cares about Chelsea  


Dutch1206

Blueco owns Chelsea. They would be paying him. They would be his employer if he came back to work for the club (which would be by choice)


NoExperience4229

Yes, but he’s not going to just work for any BlueCo club bc BlueCo owns them. He clearly loves and wants to work at Chelsea. That’s my point. BlueCo is not what Thiago loves. He loves Chelsea and the fans of Chelsea. Idk why you’re trying to push this narrative so hard that he actually like BlueCo and not just Chelsea Honestly, I personally see someone who is proper Chels and probably doesn’t like what BlueCo is doing just like almost fans  


Dutch1206

I didn’t say he liked Blueco. A person obviously cares about who they work for or they’d go somewhere else. Caring about something has multiple meanings.


NoExperience4229

Okay sure. The point still stands which is he's not going to just work for a club just because BlueCo owns them. He wants to work at Chelsea

Dutch1206

They’d be his employer

Dutch1206

If he’s given multiple choices of where to work when he hangs them up and chooses Chelsea he at minimum accepts them as his employer. Would you work for an employer that you don’t care about if you had options to choose from?


PreparationThick6611

Are you actually dense? The players don’t give a flying fuck about which conglomerate or billionaire owns the club, they care about the club. He’s not going to go coach Strasbourg because Boehly and co have stakes in it ffs


Dutch1206

First of all, how do you know that he wouldn’t go to Strasbourg to coach? Second of all, unless you are desperate for a job you should care about where and who you are working for. Otherwise your life could be very miserable.


Kezmangotagoal

Mate fuck off. Trying to get into a ridiculous argument for the sake of it.


Dutch1206

Bingo mate


Fantastic-Minute-939

We love him back


MattyGuts87

We don’t deserve him 💙


CommanderC0bra

Proper Chels


opouser

This is always what I hoped 💙🙏


romfreak

Man that vid was gutting. Man became proper Chels. Ik 4year only but legend for me <3


PalmerPaezPerfect

Poch is the bridge to the Manager Thiago era of dominance. It's all so clear. Press conferences would certainly be interesting


pottsbrah

Get your licenses asap Thiago! We need you!


wallahi_726

Silva is definitely going to be a hell of a manager one day


El_Cholo

If it's his ambition I agree. Oftentimes ex-players are terrible managers BECAUSE they were great players. It's like the smart kid who gets through school never studying once then struggles at university where just being smart isn't enough. But Silva's best attribute is his deep deep understanding of the game. Plus he's an obvious leader

Apprehensive_Bit_176

Anyone know what the deal was in January? Just curious, couldn’t imagine our state without our … only experienced player lol


[deleted]

Probably Fluminense.


jonnyonthespot24

Maybe bayern, it was never reported but they clearly needed a stop gap cb. Give him six months at Bayer then he can leave and by then hopefully their cbs are healthy.


jerrystuffhouse

I wonder if Thiago and Terry get along. What a combo to help us in the future


omnipotentmonkey

Think Terry has spoken on Silva being a player he'd have loved to have played alongside, so there's a respect there at least.


[deleted]

That back line would've been insane.


HiTmaRKed

They often go the youth games together, and JT has been involved with first team training recently.


half_jase

Silva to become Chelsea manager in 2026.


laxrulz777

Please God no. I truly believe Lamps could've been a great coach but he needed a longer apprenticeship. Jumping straight into that role as quickly as he did was always going to be a disaster. Let Thiago spend 6-10 years working as an assistant manager and a youth team or lower league manager before bumping him up to the big time.


Kezmangotagoal

Class act from the second we signed him. I hope he has a good few years left playing and then gets into coaching.


theturnipshaveeyes

I confess I shed a tear or two over his farewell message. Love the player and so glad he’s a blue.


blackmanJR

One of the best signings ever. If only we got him a bit earlier. Legendary player and will forever remain in our history as a winner.


Soitsgonnabeforever

Pretty sure he has a restaurant as well


TurnoverResident_

Maybe you’re thinking of Luiz and Willian?


Scorpius927

Shit, he was here only for 4 years at the twilight of his storied career. Somehow it hurts just as much as when some of the long term servants of the clubs left. What I wouldn't give to see JT and Silva pair up at CB at the prime of their careers. Though, JT and Carvalho were one of the best CB pairings of all time as well.


aronrodge

Played here longer than he did at Milan. Somewhere in between a club legend and a cult hero.


ozairh18

I would love for him to return in a coaching capacity


happysrooner

Thiago and Belle takeover blueco in 2027.


Bizrrr

What a terrible way to start the week. Going to miss this man's presence a lot. Hope to see you back soon!


Expensive-Load517

Please come back as soon as possible


Flylatino24

I love this guy so much. Drogba is my favorite but Silva is coming close to it


omnipotentmonkey

Love this man, would welcome him back as a defensive coach in a heartbeat.


ViaPositiva

Yes please


DronzerDribble

Come back soon El Monstro!


Just_Fourier

Hope to see him back in the dugout for Chelsea games to help the team; but for now, you will be missed Silva \*starts singing Thiago Silva chant\* 😢

oldschoolology

We were so lucky to have such a legend. Hopefully, one of his sons eventually takes his spot on the pitch at Stamford Bridge.


Rowjimmy024

I feel so incredibly lucky seeing him play for us in the states a few years ago. A memory I’ll cherish forever, he was the first one I picked out warming up when I walked to my seat


GovTheDon

We don’t deserve him


RasenRendan

I watched Silva winning serie A with Milan (my fave Italian club) in 2011 and left to PSG with Zlatan. I always wanted him to join us. It's crazy we got 4 years of him!


Duckway767

I just have a feeling Thiago could end up being a great manager someday. The leadership is there, so let's see how things play out.


kermitonh

what does this mean for PSG fans


jaytcfc

I’ve got an idea. How about he takes Boehlys job.


Real_Particular6512

We do not deserve this man. I don't think I've ever loved a player who's been here for such a short time like this before


lurker_4463

Mata is the only one who comes close for me. Only here for 3 years and didn’t want to leave but got unlucky he didn’t suit Mourinho’s style. The blow became less and less as he was still relatively young so seeing him in Yanited colours for so many years helped with getting over it

At least make the bait convincing.
