Chelsea took the decision to sack Graham Potter on Sunday evening after a difficult six months in charge at Stamford Bridge. Potter replaced Thomas Tuchel earlier this season but won just 12 of his 32 games which ultimately led to his dismissal.
Bruno Saltor has been confirmed as interim manager until a permanent replacement for Potter is appointed. Former Bayern Munich manager Julian Nagelsmann is a serious contender to replace the 47-year-old at Chelsea but the process of finding a new head coach will not be rushed, football.london understands.
Other candidates under consideration include the likes of Luis Enrique, Zinedine Zidane, Roberto De Zerbi and ex-Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino. Nagelsmann is admired by the Blues due to his work at RB Leipzig and Bayern, with technical director Christopher Vivell having already worked with the German during his time in the Bundesliga.
