Marco Silva has emerged as a surprise candidate to take over at Chelsea after Graham Potter was finally sacked.
Julian Nagelsmann, sacked last week by Bayern Munich, is the club’s no.1 target while former Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino is also under consideration.
But Fulham boss Silva could be yet another left-field appointment by Chelsea's co-owners Todd Boehly and Behdad Eghbali. The Portuguese former Fulham and Everton boss has admirers at Stamford Bridge with his promoted club sitting above the Blues in the Premier League table.
