Marco Silva could take the Chelsea job but only on a short-term basis, says Burley. Chelsea boss Antonio Conte is under pressure at Stamford Bridge after a turbulent season on and off the pitch.<\/p>\n

The Blues have lost their last two Premier League matches, with shock defeats to Bournemouth and Watford.\u00a0 Silva was in charge at Watford for the first half of the season before being sacked last month.<\/p>\n
Burley was initially against the idea of seeing the Portuguese boss replace Antonio Conte. And he admits he would like Juventus\u2019 Massimiliano Allegri to take the role full-time from next season. When asked if Silva could replace Conte, Burley told ESPN FC: \u201cNo. Maybe short term.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m running out of managers (for long term). I\u2019d have to think about it. Allegri, Allegri from Juve.\u201d Burley\u2019s colleague Alejandro Moreno reckons Diego Simeone would be a good option for Chelsea. Marco Silva was sacked by Watford last month \u201cSimeone. I think he\u2019s run his course at Atletico Madrid,\u201d the Venezuelan said.<\/p>\n
Liverpool legend Steve Nicol had similar thinking to Burley, claiming Chelsea could look to appoint someone for just the remainder of the season. \u201cThey\u2019ve had no problem (before) bringing someone in just for the short term,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
