According to a report, Chelsea are reportedly interested in replacing Graham Potter with Brighton boss Roberto de Zerbi.
Zerbi took over from Potter at Brighton and he’s also presently being eyed by Chelsea.
The Brighton coach is regarded as a top manager and Chelsea bosses reportedly rank him very highly.
Potter is presently experiencing a turbulent moment at Stamford Bridge, having failed to manage a win in the last seven games.
The Englishman is believed to be living on borrowed time at the west London club, despite the fact that Chelsea co-owner Todd Boehly had initially chosen to stick by him to turn the club’s fortunes around.
The report added that although Chelsea are still sticking by Potter for now, there have been quiet talks behind the scenes on potential replacements, with De Zerbi on top of the shortlist.
The 43-year-old Italian (Zerbi) is viewed as an exciting young manager who could take Chelsea to the next level with his modern and radical way of management.
Zerbi has steadied the ship at Brighton despite taking over in the middle of the season, they are presently occupying the 8th position on the log with just 22 games in the English Premier League.
