Julian Nagelsmann is the early favourite for the Stamford Bridge hot-seat after the Blues sacked Graham Potter on Sunday.

His first appointment of Graham Potter has failed and he would now like to bide his time to find the best option.

Graham Potter was fired by the Blues on Sunday after just seven months in command and £330 million spent in January transfers.

Chelsea invested £330 million, backing the former Brighton manager during the January transfer window, pushing their overall spending for the year above £600 million. The Blues dropped to 11th in the Premier League after Saturday’s 2-0 home loss to Aston Villa, indicating that Potter has not been able to turn around the club’s prospects.
The West Londoners will be led by Bruno Saltor until Potter’s stable replacement is chosen. It is understood Bruno could stay in charge as interim head coach for the rest of the campaign.

Boehly and the rest of Chelsea’s top officials are aware that they are unlikely to qualify for next season’s Champions League via a top-four finish, even though they are gearing up to take on Real Madrid in the quarterfinals the following week. As a result, they are willing to wait and begin a thorough hunt for a new man to assume command and guide them in the long run.
Chelsea’s shortlist of potential managers:
-
- Julian Nagelsmann
- Zinedine Zidane
- Luis Enrique
- Jose Mourinho
- Mauricio Pochettino
- Oliver Glasner
◉ Chelsea approached Nagelsmann as top candidate;
◉ No compensation talks with Bayern… yet;
◉ Internal discussions will continue to make best decision;
◉ Ruben Amorim also appreciated, no talks with Pochettino as of now.

The early betting favorite for the position is German coach Nagelsmann, who was unexpectedly fired by Bayern Munich last month and succeeded by Tuchel. According to reports, Christian Vivell, the new technical head at Chelsea, is “pushing” for him to take over. With some quality options available at their disposal, it will be fascinating to see who Todd Boehly goes for next.
