Four managers who could replace Graham Potter at Chelsea as Zinedine Zidane verdict delivered

Chelsea replaced Thomas Tuchel with Graham Potter back in September last year but things have not quite gone to plan for the former Brighton boss. The Blues sit 10th in the Premier League and are closer to the relegation zone than the top four with Champions League football looking highly unlikely next season.

Despite spending over £600million on new signings in the last two transfer windows, Chelsea look a shadow of themselves and pressure is building on Potter. Zinedine Zidane, Mauricio Pochettino and Luis Enrique have all been linked with the manager role at Stamford Bridge as Blues fans' patience continues to wear thin with Potter.

Recent defeats against Southampton and Tottenham have compiled the miserable feeling at Stamford Bridge but Todd Boehly has stood by Potter - for now. Manchester United's improvement under Erik ten Hag - emphasised by their Carabao Cup final win against Newcastle on Sunday - has shown the Blues what they could achieve with a world-class manager at the helm, but the Chelsea owners remain in support of Potter despite the abysmal form on the pitch.
