Luis Enrique has emerged as Chelsea’s top target to replace Graham Potter following his ruthless sacking.
Potter was relieved of his duties on Sunday evening, less than seven months after leaving Brighton to take over from Thomas Tuchel. The Blues’ new ownership group - fronted by Todd Boehly - were adamant they were behind Potter for the long-term, but U-turned on their plans thanks to Chelsea ’s desperate Premier League form.
Last weekend’s feeble 2-0 defeat at home to Aston Villa appeared to be the final straw for Boehly and co. who are now on the lookout for yet another head coach. Julian Nagelsmann, only recently axed by Bayern Munich himself, has been touted as the early favourite, with plenty of admirers for the 35-year-old coach.
