Todd Boehly may be preparing a contingency plan in the event that Graham Potter is sacked following Chelsea's defeat to Aston Villa. The Blues have slipped into the bottom half of the Premier League, casting fresh doubt over the 47-year-old's future in the dugout at Stamford Bridge.
Potter appeared to have transformed the west London outfit's fortunes ahead of the international break, recording a four-game unbeaten streak which included a win over Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League. However, the Chelsea head coach struggled to build upon the new-found momentum and he now finds himself under pressure again.
In the latter stages of the Blues' clash with Villa, the home support made their feelings known by aiming various chants at Potter, such as 'sacked in the morning' and 'you don't know what you're doing'. With the former Brighton boss facing an increasingly uncertain future, Julian Nagelsmann has emerged as the preferred candidate among fans to take the helm.
