Mauricio Pochettino is the early bookies favourite at 2/1 to be next Chelsea manager
Former Tottenham and PSG manager Mauricio Pochettino is the early bookies favourite to be the next Chelsea manager.
Thomas Tuchel's exit on Wednesday morning opens up a massive role in English football and Pochettino leads the way to take over.
Paddy Power though have Graham Potter as one of the favourites to take over at Stamford Bridge after his impressive job at Brighton.
| Next Chelsea Manager | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Mauricio Pochettino | 2/1 | 33.3% |
| Graham Potter | 9/4 | 30.8% |
| Zinedine Zidane | 4/1 | 20.0% |
| Brendan Rodgers | 8/1 | 11.1% |
| Diego Simeone | 10/1 | 9.1% |
It would be a massive move for Pochettino, who is without a role since he was sacked as PSG manager in the Summer.
The betting odds for any managerial market change frequently, so we may see some managers shorten more than others in the coming hours.

Thomas Tuchel was dismissed as manager on Wednesday morning after Chelsea's loss to Dinamo Zagreb
Chelsea dismissed Thomas Tuchel after their 1-0 loss to Dinamo Zagreb in their opening Champions League game.
New owner Todd Boehly has axed Tuchel 100 days after taking over at the club and it's a big step to make so early in the season.
Tuchel won the Champions League, the Super Cup and Club World Cup while manager of Chelsea and his success played a big part in their history.
The official Chelsea statement said that, "The new owners believe it is the right time to make this transition".
Chelsea sit in 6th in the Premier League table
Chelsea are currently 6th in the Premier League table after a mixed start to their season.
Losses to Leeds and Southampton in their opening 6 games had caused pressure on Thomas Tuchel.
The defeat to Dinamo Zagreb added to this and Boehly and his board decided to pull the plug on the German manager's reign.
According to our figures, Chelsea were one of the biggest over-spenders in the Premier League transfer window.
