Chelsea are on the hunt for a new permanent manager following the dismissal of Graham Potter.

Chelsea have reportedly held talks with former PSG and Tottenham Hotspur boss Mauricio Pochettino about becoming the next Chelsea boss.

Speaking on Sky Sports this week, La Liga pundit Terry Gibson was asked about Pochettino as the potential next Real Madrid manager.

He said: “Chelsea are wise to talk to Mauricio Pochettino. He’s an elite manager, whether he is elite enough for Real Madrid I’m not sure. He did some great work with Spurs and that’s what is appealing Chelsea because he knows the league very well.”
