Chelsea are said to have made contact with two of their preferred options to take the vacant managerial post at Stamford Bridge. The Blues are currently in search of their third permanent manager of the season, having replaced Thomas Tuchel with Graham Potter earlier in the campaign as part of Boehly-Clearlake's new philosophy.
The second boss had little luck in turning things around though, with poor form resulting in his side dropping into the bottom half of the Premier League. The club confirmed on Sunday that Potter had been dismissed, with the process of finding a new manager on the cards.
"On behalf of everyone at the club, we want to thank Graham sincerely for his contribution to Chelsea," Co-controlling owners Todd Boehly and Behdad Eghbali said. "We have the highest degree of respect for Graham as a coach and as a person. He has always conducted himself with professionalism and integrity and we are all disappointed in this outcome."
