Pressure is now mounting on Potter to quit after just four months at the helm, with a section of fans demanding his sacking.

Pochettino ready for Chelsea role

Apparently, the Blues will not be short of options should they part company with Potter, with several experienced managers available.

Pochettino is among the tacticians currently without a job following his dismissal at Paris Saint-Germain back in July 2022.

According to reports, the Argentine is waiting on the wings for the Chelsea role should the club sack Potter.

The Sun claims the Chelsea board is already considering the Englishman's future, with the 47-year-old expected to have the rest of January to steady the ship.

The Blues will be back in action on Thursday night with a Premier League trip to Fulham.

Fans sing Tuchel's name

Earlier, Sports Brief reported Chelsea fans were heard chanting Thomas Tuchel's name, during their FA Cup hammering by Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium.

A section of Chelsea fans, who turned up to cheer their club on at the away end, chose to express their disappointment with the team's performance by singing about the former boss.

Tuchel spent 18 months at the helm of affairs at Stamford Bridge, before he was shown the door back in September 2022.
