Chelsea already have a key advantage when it comes to beating the competition to appointing their next manager. The Blues are currently searching for their third head coach of the season after dismissing Graham Potter on Sunday evening.
Following the 2-0 defeat to Aston Villa on Saturday the 47-year-old's position became untenable after once more feeling the brunt of fan anger turn his way during the game with cries of 'sacked in the morning' and 'you don't know what you're doing.' Not much later and many of their wishes had come true.
The next stage is to find the next permanent coach with Potter's assistant and former Brighton legend Bruno Saltor set to take interim charge. There is no time period on the next appointment with the club statement saying: "We have 10 Premier League games remaining and a Champions League quarter final ahead. We will put every effort and commitment into every one of those games so that we can end the season on a high."
