After a disappointing run of form this season, manager Graham Potter has been sacked, leaving the club in search of a new manager. Here are three potential candidates for the job:
Julian Nagelsmann: The highly sought-after German coach has been tipped as the top choice for Chelsea. At just 33 years old, Nagelsmann has already proven himself as one of the most innovative and tactically astute coaches in Europe. He led RB Leipzig to the semi-finals of the Champions League last season, and has impressed with Bayern Munich. Nagelsmann’s high-pressing, attacking style of play would certainly suit Chelsea’s squad, and his youthful energy and fresh ideas could be just what the club needs to get back to winning ways.
Mauricio Pochettino: Another top candidate for the job is the former Tottenham Hotspur boss, Mauricio Pochettino. Pochettino is known for his ability to build cohesive, hard-working teams that play attractive, attacking football. He led Tottenham to the Champions League final in 2019, and his experience in the Premier League could be a valuable asset for Chelsea.
Antonio Conte: The Italian coach is no stranger to Chelsea, having led the club to the Premier League title in 2017. Conte is known for his disciplined, organized teams that are difficult to break down, and his tactical prowess could help shore up Chelsea’s leaky defense. Conte is currently without a job after leaving Tottenham a few days back, and reports suggest that he would be open to a return to Stamford Bridge.
