Sacked Chelsea coach Graham Potter’s replacement, Julian Nagelsmann, is scheduled to arrive Stamford Bridge before pre-season.
According to the Guardian, Chelsea want their next manager to arrive by the start of pre-season, suggesting the Blues are in no rush to make an immediate decision, with owner Todd Boehly keen to learn from the Potter experience as he targets a brighter future.
Potter was let go by Chelsea, relinquishing his six-months reign over the coaching staff at Stamford Bridge on Sunday night, just over 24 hours after a Premier League home game defeat to Aston Villa.
At the moment, three serious candidates are vying to take over from Potter – with former Bayern Munich boss Nagelsmann in top consideration for the job.
The London club decided to sack the 47-year-old on Sunday night, making their decision public in a statement confirming his departure. Bruno Salter, who was in Potter’s coaching staff, was picked as interim head coach.
Chelsea hired Potter with the hope he would develop into the role when they fired Thomas Tuchel and hired the former Brighton boss last September.
However, Chelsea failed to take off under Potter, ultimately leading to his on Sunday as Todd Boehly decided to let him go.
