Silva yet to be offered a role by Chelsea
May 23, 2026 - 04:40
Legendary defender Thiago Silva remains undecided on his next move after announcing he will leave Porto. The 40-year-old Brazilian is known to be eager to start a coaching career, having already completed his UEFA B license. He has kept his family home near Chelsea's training base in Cobham, fueling speculation that he hopes to return to the club in some capacity.
Silva spent four seasons at Stamford Bridge, winning the Champions League, Club World Cup, and two Premier League titles. Despite his departure from Porto, Chelsea have not yet offered him a formal role. The club is currently focused on restructuring its squad under new management, and no decision has been made regarding a backroom position for the veteran.
Sources close to Silva say he is patient and will carefully consider all options. He wants a role that allows him to develop as a coach while staying connected to top-level football. Whether that opportunity comes at Chelsea or elsewhere remains unclear. For now, Silva continues to train individually and wait for the right offer.
