Chelsea have added two more names to their long list of coaches to replace Blues boss Graham Potter. The West London side sacked Potter after just seven months at the helm and spent £330 million ($406 million) in the January transfer window on Sunday.
Reports have claimed that Eintracht Frankfurt manager Oliver Glasner could become the new Chelsea manager.
According to The Guardian, the 48-year-old was one of the names on the list at Stamford Bridge as the hunt began for the best candidate to replace Potter. Another name on the list, according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, is Sporting Lisbon manager Ruben Amorim, with Chelsea considered a huge admirer of the Portuguese coach. Romano announced on Twitter that the 38-year-old is one of the names being considered by the club.
Bruno Saltor will be in charge of The Blues until a permanent successor to Potter is appointed. And it is understood that Bruno could continue to serve as interim head coach for the remainder of the campaign.

Potter has been hired on a five-year, £12 million-a-year deal (US$14.7 million) after Champions League-winning coach Thomas Tuchel was sacked following a poor run of games earlier in the season. The former Brighton boss left Stamford Bridge with the worst points-per-game record of any Blues manager having made more than 20 appearances, averaging 1.27 points per game.
Boehly and the rest of Chelsea's top management have accepted that they are unlikely to qualify for next season's Champions League if they only finish in the top four - even though they are set to face Real Madrid in the quarter-finals. next week.
German coach Nagelsmann, who was unexpectedly sacked by Bayern Munich last month and replaced by Tuchel, was soon the bookies' favorite for the job.

The 35-year-old arrived at Bayern from RB Leipzig in 2021 and won the championship with eight points in his first season in charge, and led them to successive German Super Cups.
Reports have also claimed that Chelsea's new technical director, Christian Vivell, is 'promoting' him to power. Former Spurs and Paris Saint-Germain coach Mauricio Pochettino is another bookie favorite and remains a free agent after being sacked by the French giants in June 2022 - despite leading them to League 1 championship.
Other contenders include former Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane, former Spain coach Luis Enrique, Oliver Glasner of Eintracht Frankfurt and even two-time former Blues manager Jose Mourinho, who is now are in Rome.
