Chelsea have identified Graham Potter and Mauricio Pochettino as the two leading candidates to replace Thomas Tuchel as manager at Stamford Bridge.
Potter is currently in London to hold talks with the Blues' ownership regarding the vacant managerial position at the club, football.london understands. Tuchel was sacked on Wednesday morning after a poor start to the season which has seen Chelsea pick up just three wins from seven in all competitions.
The Blues spent more than any other Premier League club in the summer transfer window, bringing in the likes of Pierre-Emerick Auabmeyang, Wesley Fofana, Raheem Sterling, Kalidou Koulibaly and Marc Cucurella. Cristiano Ronaldo was a target for the west London outfit, but Tuchel blocked a move for the Manchester United superstar after Todd Boehly had met with agent Jorge Mendes to discuss a potential deal.
