(Reuters) - Chelsea sacked manager Graham Potter on Sunday after less than seven months in charge, following their 2-0 home defeat by Aston Villa at the weekend which left the London club 11th in the Premier League.
According to bookmakers SkyBet, following are the contenders to replace Potter as Chelsea look to appoint their third manager this season.Bayern Munich surprisingly parted ways with Nagelsmann last month with the club second in the Bundesliga and in the Champions League quarter-finals, replacing him with former Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel.
He has also been linked with Tottenham Hotspur, who have Cristian Stellini in interim charge until the end of the season after Antonio Conte's exit last month.Relegation-threatened Leicester City parted ways with Rodgers by mutual consent on Sunday in a late-season bid to preserve their top-flight status after defeat by Crystal Palace at the weekend left them in 19th place.
Rodgers took Liverpool to the brink of the league title in 2013-14 and enjoyed a successful stint at Celtic, where he won two Scottish Premiership titles. He has also served as manager of Chelsea's youth and reserve teams.Former Tottenham manager Pochettino, tipped for a return to north London, was linked with Chelsea after Tuchel was sacked and has again emerged as one of the early frontrunners for the vacant managerial role at Stamford Bridge.
The 52-year-old, who has not managed a club in nearly six years, won the Champions League with Barcelona in his first season as part of a treble and later added another LaLiga title and two Copa del Rey trophies.Zidane, 50, has spent nearly two years without a club since he left Real Madrid after his second spell in charge at the end of the 2020-21 season following the their first trophyless season in 11 years.
