BREAKING: #Chelsea Signs Mauricio Pochettino? – #TuchelOut—-Following the shock decision to sack Thomas Tuchel Chelsea have consequently made formal approaches for both Brighton manager Graham Potter and former PSG man Mauricio Pochettino.
Thomas Tuchel was sacked as Chelsea manager following their defeat to Dinamo Zagreb in the Champions League on Tuesday night.
The German coach won the Champions League during his Chelsea tenure making the sacking to be slightly harsh but performances and results, have been rather discouraging so far this season.
The Daily Mail on Wednesday reports that Chelsea have begun the process of assessing whether both Potter and Pochettino would be open to taking over from Tuchel.
Pochettino is a free agent after leaving PSG this year, so a move to bring him to Stamford Bridge would likely be a lot less complicated than bringing in Potter.
Potter is of course under contract at Brighton, but the Daily Mail reports that Potter would be open to leaving the club for a side competing in the Champions League.
Former Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane is also reportedly on Chelsea’s list, but Potter and Pochettino with experience in the English Premier League are said to be leading the race as it stands.
