Chelsea dispensed with the services of Graham Potter on Sunday evening and are now the third Premier League club without a permanent manager, following Tottenham Hotspur and Leicester City.
All three clubs have interim managers in place, and all three clubs will be looking to secure the best option they can for summer, and preferably before.
Chelsea need a late amazing dash to have any chance of making it to the Champions League, which will be a huge ask of any manager. They also need to find someone to manage Todd Boehly’s ego, with the owner likely stinging after his transfer masterplan failed to show any success.
German newspaper Bild report, according to their own information, that Chelsea have Oliver Glasner on their shortlist. Similar was said about Tottenham recently, and it’s felt like the German media are engaged in a PR campaign for the Eintracht Frankfurt manager.
Bild say both Chelsea and Tottenham have been keen on Julian Nagelsmann too, but the insinuation is he doesn’t want a new job so quickly after leaving Bayern Munich.
As far as the German newspaper know, Chelsea only have three or four names on their shortlist, and Glasner and Nagelsmann are two of those.
