Todd Boehly has another big decision to make after sacking Thomas Tuchel on Wednesday. The American is currently interviewing candidates to replace Tuchel as Chelsea's new head coach, with Graham Potter expected to leave his duties as Brighton boss and take over at Stamford Bridge.
football.london understands that Potter has reached a verbal agreement to become Chelsea's new head coach after meeting Boehly for talks on Wednesday. No contracts have been signed just yet, but Potter is expected to become the Blues' new manager – with the club hoping to appoint him before Saturday afternoon's Premier League match with Fulham.
Nevertheless, there's still a possibility that the impending appointment could go wrong. Another candidate rumoured to be in contention for the job is Sporting Lisbon boss Ruben Amorim.
