According to the bookmakers, these four managers are favourites to replace Graham Potter at Chelsea if the Englishman gets sacked.

Enrique’s sides can play high quality, visually appealing football, something that the supporters would like to see after a slugfest that is on display. Earlier a [report emerged](https://theprideoflondon.com/2023/02/21/epl-boss-reject-chelsea-graham-potter/) that the Argentine manager turned down the chance to coach Chelsea. The manager has not returned to management after leaving Real Madrid in the summer 2021. PSG had also asked about Zidane when they were looking for a new manager but the Frenchman has not yet returned to management but the attraction of Premier League could mean he comes out of his sabbatical. [Pari match](https://www.parimatch.co.uk/aff/Sports-p-welcome-offer?btagid=92636907&btag=a_50031b_11890c_02c34109-20a3-4c5f-a336-195000e1f01c&affid=25007&nid=2&mid=160), the [bookmakers’](https://www.oddschecker.com/football/football-specials/chelsea/next-permanent-manager) favourite to replace Potter at Chelsea is Mauricio Pochettino.

Getting rid of the one-time Swansea manager just means the process has to start all over again. Some teams struggle to bed in three new starters into a team, Potter has been tasked with getting six January signings up to speed while still trying to put his stamp on the team himself. We look forward to supporting him, his coaching team and the squad in realising their full potential in the coming months and years." He is a proven coach and an innovator in the Premier League who fits our vision for the Club. His ruthless approach kept the Blues at the summit of English football throughout his time with the club, and supporters have become accustomed to reactions when things aren’t going well.
