[Potter was sacked after just seven months in charge](https://www.football.london/chelsea-fc/news/breaking-graham-potter-sacked-chelsea-26615397), with just three Premier League wins in the entirety of 2023 leading to a decision being made. This also comes after the sacking of Champions League winning manager Thomas Tuchel in September, [following a failure to agree on their respective long-term visions.](https://www.football.london/chelsea-fc/news/tuchel-boehly-chelsea-sacking-bayern-26606609) Boehly took over the club last May and did not immediately appoint a Director of Football or Sporting Director, instead choosing to deal with transfers himself. [Chelsea](https://www.football.london/chelsea-fc/) spent over £300 million in the January transfer market, a spree which coincided with Potter's worst run of form at Chelsea and Keys has linked the spending to what he described as a 'shambles'. "I really wanted Potter to succeed, but it’s been evident for weeks that he was out of his depth.

It has been a while since Bayern Munich sacked their former manager Julian Nagelsmann, in favour of former Chelsea FC manager Thomas Tuchel.

As fate had it, a sudden news leak forced the board to come clean and put forth the formal news of his sacking. The contract of five years with the fee of €25 million made one thing very clear — the club believed in his vision enough to entrust a massive, long-term project in his hands. It was sudden and unexpected, for both the fans and an unsuspected Nagelsmann who was enjoying a quiet ski vacation. The Rekordmeister certainly aren’t the kind to throw money around for anyone, but they wanted Nagelsmann and came in ready with a huge amount. Chelsea are currently managed by interim manager Bruno Saltor, who took over after Graham Potter’s sacking. Though it has been lesser than two weeks since the sacking was announced, it feels a lot longer than that because of simply how much has transpired.

The former Spain and Barelona manager has been working on his English ahead of a possible move to the Premier League.

Chelsea and Liverpool played out a 0-0 draw that served to show exactly why they have struggled in the Premier League this season.

If the away tie isn't the be all and end all of Chelsea's season then this certainly is. For context, Carlo Ancelotti has won four times as many Champions League trophies as manager as Bruno has taken charge of games. Wolves are fighting for much more than Chelsea and will pose a stubborn test on Saturday. Chelsea won't want to waste their goals so perhaps not scoring against Wolves would be better than using them up and going dry ahead of Madrid? Here's how the fixture list stacks up compared to their rivals. That's now 420 minutes of consecutive football between the two sides without a goal being scored legally.

Chelsea news: The Blues are ramping up their attempts to find a new head coach with Luis Enrique taking a key step towards the role.

In 2013 he admitted: "I’d like to manage in England at some point. Enrique had great success with Barcelona, managing one of the greatest frontlines ever seen. I would go to a team with possibilities. The Blues aren't yet close to making an appointment but are ramping up their actions with a Champions League quarter-final tie against Real Madrid on the horizon. Luis Enrique is in London for talks with Chelsea over the vacant manager role after Graham Potter was sacked on Sunday. "I am lucky because my personal life fills me up.

In fact, three of Liverpool’s four yellow cards – for Fabinho, Konstantinos Tsimikas and Joel Matip – were issued for fouls on Joao Felix. Enzo’s 14 long passes was again comfortably the highest number of any outfield player, ahead of Koulibaly and Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson with nine each, and our No5 had a decent success rate, finding a team-mate with nine of his attempts. With the two Blues veterans pushing forward and pressuring Liverpool in possession, that denied Jurgen Klopp’s team a route out of defence through the middle of the pitch, while giving our January signing room to dictate the game.

Firstly, following his exit from Bayern, Nagelsmann wishes to take a period of reflection before getting back into the management game, while a new club likely looking for a manager ahead of the 2023/24 season could tempt him away from the Chelsea job. He also claims an imminent sacking is possible and that the French club have made 'first contact' over Chelsea for Nagelsmann. I wouldn't go to any team but to one that could do important things, which greatly reduces the number. London rivals Tottenham are also eyeing a swoop for the former RB Leipzig manager after they parted ways with Antonio Conte in the March international break.

Julian Nagelsmann looks set to be a sought-after manager this summer following his surprise sacking as Bayern Munich boss in March.

The club legend was sacked in January 2021 just over a month after taking the team to the top of the Premier League table. But the high expectations at Chelsea demand he comes up with an answer with this group. The draw with Liverpool on Tuesday night was a perfect example of their toothlessness right now. The previous year his side had ranked 16th for converting clear-cut chances. But could he have a similarly decisive impact on this current crop? "There are no plans that anyone is aware of at the moment for Lampard to be Chelsea's next permanent manager, but we've seen this happen in the past. If anyone knows about the demands - and ruthlessness - at Chelsea it's Frank Lampard. In his second season, they were playing well and were top of the table about a month before he lost his job because of a poor run of form. "Things went wrong for him in his final month in charge, but people do forget that he did do a good job as the Chelsea manager in extremely difficult circumstances. If they were to win it, it would be an incredible achievement. He lives close to Stamford Bridge, he's available at the moment and he's been the Chelsea manager before.
