The odds for the next Chelsea manager have been released, with Mauricio Pochettino installed as the odds-on favourite to replace Graham Potter at Stamford Bridge.
During the Blues’ 4-0 FA Cup defeat to Manchester City on Sunday, fans began chanting the name of former boss Thomas Tuchel to show their discontent with current performances. It was the second time in four days Chelsea were beaten by the Premier League champions.
Todd Boehly handed Potter a five-year contract in an attempt to stabilise what has been a turbulent 2022 for Chelsea but the club has a history of making short-term changes in the pursuit of silverware and the fans’ discontent is a demonstration of the impact of historic success upon current expectations in west London.
While there is no indication that there is about to be an imminent change at the top, Betfair have released the list of names who could become next Chelsea manager. Former Spurs boss Pochettino has been given odds of 17/20 to be given the job having left PSG in the summer after winning the Ligue 1 title.
He is the favourite, with Brendan Rodgers second favourite with odds of 9/1 while Diego Simeone (10/1) and Zinedine Zidane (12/1) are also named on the list. Former boss and current Roma manager Jose Mourinho has also been named as a potential replacement, with odds of 16/1.
Everton boss Frank Lampard, who is also the favourite to be the next manager sacked in the Premier League at 4/9, has been given odds of 25/1 alongside Thomas Frank, Antonio Conte, Ange Postecoglou and Didier Deschamps.
Despite the list being revealed, Potter has also been given odds of 6/1 to become the next Premier League manager sacked, with Lampard favourite and David Moyes also at 6/1.
