Chelsea are looking to complete a robust managerial search to get their next appointment right, but with some big ties on the horizon, a quick hire is also ideal. The Blues announced on Sunday that they had parted company with head coach Graham Potter following a 2-0 defeat to Aston Villa that saw the side drop into the bottom half.
The former Brighton man was in charge for seven months before leaving, with a mixture of challenges seeming too much in the end. Bruno Saltor has been given interim duties for now, with little time to spare for him to get used to the situation, with a clash against Liverpool next up on Tuesday evening.
"First of all it is a sad day," The ex-Seagulls captain said in his first press conference. "A sad day for staff because Graham [Potter] and Billy [Reid] leaving, two top coaches, top people, top human beings. How I see it is, I have to be the most professional I can. Try to help the players, guide the players to prepare the game the best we can."
