Favourite manager tipped to replace Potter at Chelsea revealed

Former Bayern Munich manager, Julian Nagelsmann has been named as the favourite to replace Graham Potter at Chelsea.

Recall that Potter was sacked by the Blues co-owner, Todd Boehly, on Sunday following a 2-0 defeat to Aston Villa on Saturday in the Premier League.

Popular football transfer expert, Fabrizio Romano in a statement revealed Boehly is already looking at Nagelsmann to step in.

Romano tweeted: “Julian Nagelsmann is the favourite candidate to replace Graham Potter as new Chelsea head coach, as reported yesterday.

“Nagelsmann was mentioned yesterday during internal discussions — Julian is considered a talented coach.

“Talks are ongoing to make the best decision.”

Meanwhile, Potter’s sack comes in less than a year after he took over from Thomas Tuchel towards the end of last year.

This means the former Brighton boss didn’t spend up to a season at Chelsea.

Before his departure, the Blues are seated at the 11th spot on the EPL table and are currently in the Champions League final.
