The stroke that broke the camel’s back was Chelsea’s 0-2 loss to Aston Villa, at a time when Chelsea are barely having breath in the top 10 of EPL Standings. Read about Chelsea’s loss to Aston Villa below.

Goodbye Potter, Chelsea Won’t Miss You

The sentiment of the fans on hearing Potter’s sacking was clear: he won’t be missed. Graham Potter has done nothing but run Chelsea down. The club’s management made a near-fatal mistake to sack Thomas Tuchel, now Bayern Munich coach, and then go on to appoint Potter. Potter is a folly manager, sorry to say, and a club as big as Chelsea had no business appointing him as club manager. Read about Tuchel’s appointment as Bayern Munich coach below.

What Next for Chelsea?

Chelsea and club owner Todd Boehly are now in search of a new manager for the club and are looking for someone that will fill Tuchel’s big shoes. To them, the Potter era was a huge mistake, especially in judgment, but they are looking for a manager as good as, or better than Potter’s predecessor Thomas Tuchel. At the moment, Bruno Saltor will be Chelsea’s interim coach, giving the club’s management time to look for a permanent manager.

Who is likely to be Chelsea’s Next Coach?

Ironically, Chelsea’s next coach is likely to be Julian Nagelsmann, former Bayern Munich coach who was just sacked barely two weeks ago. Chelsea have, reportedly, always had an eye on him as a future coach and this may well be the opportunity they need to bring him on to manage the team.

Julian Nagelsmann is the favorite candidate to replace Graham Potter as new Chelsea head coach, as reported yesterday. #CFC

Nagelsmann was mentioned yesterday during internal discussions — Julian is considered a talented coach.

Nagelsmann’s sacking by Bayern Munich means that he’s free to join Chelsea and ironically, he was sacked to give way to former Chelsea coach Thomas Tuchel in Bayern Munich. Here’s what Tuchel had to say about Nagelsmann joining Chelsea as head coach.

“Would you recommend Nagelsmann to join Chelsea?”. #CFC

Thomas Tuchel: “Julian is not gonna ask me because he doesn’t need my advice. I received the news of Potter’s sacking yesterday on my cell phone as a push notification”. pic.twitter.com/QCMRlOoy3U
