According to Sky Germany's Florian Plettenberg, Chelsea are considering former Bayern Munich manager Julian Nagelsmann as a candidate to replace team manager Graham Potter.
Three consecutive wins, preceded by a draw with Everton, put an end to rumors of Potter's immediate sacking at Chelsea.
His position, however, remains relatively unsafe.
Chelsea remain 10th in the Premier League and the chance to win the Champions League is the club's only hope for the title.
Potter still has the backing of the Chelsea board, but Sky Germany reporter Plettenberg says the club have also looked at other options, including the recently sacked Nagelsmann. Bayer 04 Leverkusen - FC Bayern Munich - Bundesliga

"Please understand that he is on the Chelsea shortlist," the German journalist wrote on Nagelsmann's Twitter.
"In that case Potter should be fired."
"Important:
Chelsea want to continue with Potter and the bosses who support him. But he has to deliver now!
"Nagelsmann is unlikely to take on a new job right away."
Nagelsmann previously worked with Chelsea technical director Christopher Vivell at RB Leipzig, so the board will likely know what to expect from him if they make him the team's coach.
However, as Plettenberg pointed out, Potter will likely have time leading the team. Stay up to date with all the latest Chelsea news and views by following The Chelsea Chronicle's Facebook and Twitter accounts.

The Blues are set to demolish Stamford Bridge, with a new £2billion stadium set to take its place, but they will have to play elsewhere in the meantime.
Four other pitches were considered, including Wembley, Twickenham, Reading's Select Car Leasing Stadium and Fulham's Craven Cottage.
However, London Stadium is seen as one of the more realistic options, with Chelsea expected to approach the London Legacy Development Corporation (LLDC) to get the ball rolling.
Since West Ham are technically tenants, it is unclear to what extent they will have a say in discussions about the possibility of sharing the plot. The LLDC has frequently criticized the deal that led to The Hammers' move to the stadium so it is likely they will support Chelsea's proposal. The new Chelsea owners are investing heavily in developing a new ground as it is part of a plan Todd Boehly had before taking over as they want to be part of the big clubs with huge capacity.
