Former Bayern Munich boss Julian Nagelsmann is the favourite to replace Graham Potter in the next Chelsea manager odds market.
Who is the favourite to replace Graham Potter at Chelsea?
Julian Nagelsmann
Julian Nagelsmann (best price 10/11) is the favourite to replace Graham Potter as the next permanent Chelsea manager despite having only been sacked from his job at Bayern Munich last week and still holding a strong position in the next Tottenham manager market.
The 35-year-old, who has also managed Hoffenheim and RB Leipzig in the Bundesliga, was dismissed despite being only a point adrift of Jude Bellingham's table topping Dortmund. He was quickly replaced at the Allianz Arena by former Dortmund, PSG and Chelsea coach Thomas Tuchel.
Nagelsmann won more than 70% of his matches in charge and knocked PSG out of the Champions League just over three weeks ago.

Mauricio Pochettino
Another major player in both of the big vacant managerial posts in London, Tottenham fans showed their support for Mauricio Pochettino by chanting his name in the aftermath of the team’s limp Champions League exit to AC Milan.
The 51-year-old Pochettino, who can be backed at a best price of 9/1 (worst price 7/2), spent more than five years in charge of Tottenham between 2014 and 2019, reaching the Champions League final in the 2018/19 season.
His latest job was with big spending PSG in France, where he was dismissed despite winning the Ligue 1 title in 2021/22 – the only league title of his managerial career.
Luis Enrique
Third favourite to replace Potter, sacked by Chelsea after less than seven months in charge, is former Barcelona and Spain manager, Luis Enrique (11/1), who stepped down after overseeing La Roja's disappointing World Cup defeat to Morocco on penalties, but arguably had them playing the best football going into that match.
Enrique also impressed while in charge at Barcelona, guiding them to a treble with a front three of Luis Suarez, Neymar and Lionel Messi. The 52-year-old former Real Madrid and Barcelona midfielder, capped 62 times by his country, is a serious candidate in the race to become Potter's successor.
Brendan Rodgers
Having only just lost his job at Leicester, is Brendan Rodgers (12/1) really going to be handed an immediate Premier League lifeline by Chelsea owner Todd Boehly?
The Northern Irishman, who had been in charge of the Foxes since February 2019, was dismissed after a six-match winless run left the Foxes in the relegation zone. He was the 11th Premier League manager (Potter the 12th) to depart their role, the most since the competition began back in 1992.
Zinedine Zidane
Zinedine Zidane has been linked with a range of big jobs since he stepped down from his post at Real Madrid for a second time in May 2021.
He had been expected to succeed Didier Deschamps with the French national team before his former international teammate extended his contract until 2026.
The 50-year-old, still yet to manage anywhere outside of Real Madrid, is a best price 16/1 to become the next Chelsea manager (worst price 6/1).
