Graham Potter suffered the same fate as his predecessor, Thomas Tuchel, after he was sacked just six months into his tenure as Chelsea manager. Todd Boehly is now searching for a new permanent manager to appoint with Frank Lampard set to take charge of the Blues until the end of the season.
Lampard suffered a defeat in his first game back in charge of Chelsea away to Wolves and now prepares his players to face Real Madrid in the Champions League quarter-finals. A number of managers have been linked with the vacant position at Stamford Bridge including Mauricio Pochettino, Jose Mourinho, Zinedine Zidane and Luis Enrique.
Julian Nagelsmann remains a serious contender to replace Potter but the process to appoint a new manager will not be rushed, football.london understands. Mourinho fuelled speculation over a potential return to Chelsea following Potter's dismissal as he has impressed with Roma in Italy.
