Mauricio Pochettino has been tipped to replace Graham Potter as Chelsea manager by former Ballon d'Or winner Rivaldo. The ex-Tottenham boss has been one of the names listed on a four man shortlist considered by the club hierarchy.
Potter's exit on Sunday evening was the second time that Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital have parted ways with a manager since their £4.25 billion takeover in May 2022. The next appointment will be crucial amid the Blues' disappointing season on the pitch.
Recently-axed Bayern Munich coach Julian Nagelsmann, former Barcelona boss Luis Enrique and Napoli favourite Luciano Spalletti are all said to have joined Pochettino on Boehly's shortlist. It has also been reported that the club wish to interview at least five candidates for the post after acting swiftly in replacing Thomas Tuchel with Potter in September.
