Cristiano Ronaldo has already stated who his top pick to take over as Chelsea manager would be, with the superstar remaining a transfer target of Todd Boehly's.
Blues owner Boehly is on the search for yet another manager after sacking Graham Potter on Sunday night. The Englishman had won just 12 games since replacing Thomas Tuchel, with Chelsea dropping into the bottom half of the Premier League.
That was unacceptable to Boehly, who has now wielded the axe over Potter. A range of names have been linked with taking over at Stamford Bridge, with former Bayern Munich boss Julian Nagelsmann considered to be the frontrunner.
