Chelsea face a major managerial decision in the next few days after confirming the sacking of Graham Potter. The Blues lost to Aston Villa in the Premier League on Saturday with the result being the final straw in the patience of co-owners Todd Boehly and Behdad Eghbali.
The top target to replace Potter is Julian Nagelsmann, football.london understands. Luis Enrique and Mauricio Pochettino have both been linked with the job at Stamford Bridge, but the former Bayern Munich boss is the primary target.
The club statement released on Sunday read: "Chelsea FC has announced that Graham Potter has departed the club. Graham has agreed to collaborate with the Club to facilitate a smooth transition. In his time with the club, Graham has taken us to the quarter-final of the Champions League, where we will face Real Madrid. Chelsea would like to thank Graham for all his efforts and contribution and wish him well for the future."
