One of the leading candidates to become Chelsea’s next manager is former Bayern Munich boss Julian Nagelsmann, who was sacked by the German giants just last week.

Nagelsmann is also wanted by Tottenham Hotspur, Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain.

According to The Athletic, Chelsea won’t rush the appointment of Potter’s replacement and are keen to ensure the search for Chelsea’s next manager is exhaustive and thorough.

The Blues quickly appointed Potter as manager just a day after sacking Thomas Tuchel but want to do things differently after sacking Potter.

Director of global talent and transfers Paul Winstanley and technical director Laurence Stewart will look to identify the coach they believe can deliver trophies with a squad that has been assembled at enormous cost and then make a recommendation to Boehly and Eghbali.

It may reportedly take weeks before a new Chelsea manager is appointed by the club.
