Emmanuel Petit gives Zinedine Zidane to Chelsea verdict amid stinging Todd Boehly attack

Graham Potter faces a potential "make or break" week as Chelsea manager, during which he will lead his side to take on Leeds United in the Premier League and Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League. Should Todd Boehly decide a managerial change is needed, the hierarchy could turn to three-time Champions League-winning coach Zinedine Zidane to arrest the side’s slide.

The Frenchman triumphed in the biggest European club football tournament during three successive years at Real Madrid, becoming the first manager to achieve that feat since the competition was rebranded in the early-1990s. The 50-year-old is currently on the market having been without a job since leaving Los Blancos for the second time in 2021.

According to Spanish outlet Sport, Zidane is 'in the running', alongside fellow Champions League-winning coach Luis Enrique, to replace Potter, should the decision be made to part ways. However, former Chelsea player Emmanuel Petit says he does not think Zidane will end up in west London.
