Fans started screaming the name of former manager Thomas Tuchel during the Blues’ 4-0 FA Cup loss to Manchester City on Sunday to express their displeasure with recent performances. The Premier League champions defeated Chelsea for the second time in four days.
To stabilise what has been a tumultuous 2022 for Chelsea, Todd Boehly gave Potter a five-year contract. However, the club has a history of making short-term changes in the pursuit of trophy success, and the discontent of the fans is a demonstration of the impact of historical success upon current expectations in west London.
The names of potential candidates for the position of next Chelsea manager have been revealed by Betfair, albeit there is no indication that a change at the top is set to occur soon. Pochettino, the former manager of Tottenham, left PSG in the summer after winning the Ligue 1 title, and has been given odds of 17/20 to be hired.
He is the favourite, followed by Brendan Rodgers at 9/1, Diego Simeone (10/1) and Zinedine Zidane (12/1), who are all on the list. Jose Mourinho, a former manager and the current manager of Roma, has also been mentioned as a potential replacement, with odds of 16/1.
Along with Thomas Frank, Antonio Conte, Ange Postecoglou, and Didier Deschamps, Frank Lampard, the manager of Everton, is the 4/9 favourite to be the next Premier League manager to be fired.
Potter has been offered odds of 6/1 to be the next Premier League manager fired, with Lampard the favourite and David Moyes also at 6/1, despite the list having been made public.
