Chelsea will have to fight off competition to secure their new manager if a deal isn't agreed quickly. Todd Boehly pulled the plug on the big rebuild under Graham Potter after just seven months and is now in the position of looking to appoint a second new head coach in under 12 months since taking over.
It comes after the former Brighton man was axed from his role at Stamford Bridge following the latest disappointing result - a 2-0 loss at home to Aston Villa - leaving the club in the bottom half. Potter's assistant Bruno Saltor will take charge of the league clash against Liverpool on Tuesday.
For the owners it is just the latest PR blunder in what has been a far from smooth transition to a new regime. Nothing perhaps sums this up more than Thomas Tuchel.
