Romano Fabrizio, a football expert, has revealed the Chelsea manager’s top choice to take over for the fired Thomas Tuchel.
Following their 1-0 loss to Dinamo Zagreb in the UEFA Champions League group stage on Tuesday, Chelsea fired Tuchel on Wednesday.
This was disclosed by the Blues in a statement on their website, which also stated that the coaching staff would temporarily assume control of the first team.
Following Tuchel’s dismissal, they are currently searching for a new manager.
There are rumours that former Real Madrid boss, Zinedine Zidane or ex-PSG boss, Mauricio Pochettino could be appointed to replace the German.
But Fabrizio, who has his ears on the ground at Stamford Bridge, reveals that positive talks between Chelsea and Brighton manager Graham Potter, are on the way.
“Positive talks between Chelsea and Graham Potter. He’s expected to be appointed as new manager,” he tweeted.
“Those close to Mauricio Pochettino also expect Potter to sign with Chelsea this week — Brighton manager has always been the first choice.”
