There are speculations circulating that up to five individuals could be under consideration for the Chelsea manager’s role, owing to uncertainties regarding the current manager’s future at Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea’s season has had a turbulent start, with just one win in the Premier League so far. Pochettino’s team is displaying below-par football and struggling to score goals.
Soccergator has thoroughly analyzed potential candidates for Chelsea should they opt to part ways with Pochettino, similar to their approach in the previous campaign when Graham Potter was appointed.
Among these candidates is Roberto De Zerbi, the manager of Brighton, who has notably elevated the team’s performance beyond Potter’s achievements before he joined Chelsea. However, there might be hesitancy from Chelsea’s end in pursuing another manager from Brighton, considering the experience with Potter’s appointment.
Arne Slot, currently with Feyenoord, is also mentioned as a potential option. The Dutchman was sought after during the summer, even appearing to be the top contender for the Tottenham position at one point. Despite choosing to stay at Feyenoord, it’s probable that a larger team in a more competitive league will secure his services in the near future.
