Following Chelsea’s poor run of form in the English Premier League, Manager Graham Potter has been sacked by the club management.
Potter only lasted just seven months in the job at Stamford Bridge; former Brighton defender Bruno Saltor has been appointed as interim head coach and will lead Chelsea against Liverpool on Tuesday night.
Former Bayern Munich manager, Julian Nagelsmann has been picked as the favourite to replace Potter in the coming days.
Potter was appointed as Thomas Tuchel’s replacement on September 8 on a five-year deal, but has left the club just seven months into that contract, after winning only seven of his 22 Premier League games in charge.
Chelsea face Real Madrid in the Champions League quarter-finals later this month but Potter’s departure follows Chelsea’s 2-0 defeat at home to Aston Villa on Saturday night, a result which left the Blues 11th in the Premier League table, 12 points behind fourth-placed Manchester United.
During the Stamford Bridge defeat, a section of Chelsea supporters sang: “you don’t know what you’re doing” at Potter.
Chelsea are currently placed 11th on the EPL log with no hopes of playing continental football next season
The Blues only hope of winning a silverware is if they win the UEFA Champions League.
