Julian Nagelsmann is now as short as 2/5 to become the next Chelsea manager
The hunt is on for the next Chelsea manager after Graham Potter was sacked on Sunday evening and bookies already have a clear favourite in the betting market over who takes over at Stamford Bridge.
Former Bayern Munich manager Julian Nagelsmann is already the 2/5 favourite to take over Chelsea following Potter's departure on Sunday with the German clear in the market.
Nagelsmann only left Bayern on 24 March with their inconsistent performances after the World Cup given as the reason and he was replaced by former Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel.
It could be that the managerial merry-go-round goes full circle here with Nagelsmann taking over at Chelsea and TalkSPORT Bet say there's a 71% chance that he does.
| Next Chelsea Manager | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Julian Nagelsmann | 2/5 | 71.4% |
| Bruno Saltor | 4/1 | 20% |
| Brendan Rodgers | 10/1 | 9.1% |
| Mauricio Pochettino | 14/1 | 6.7% |
| Jose Mourinho | 14/1 | 6.7% |
Graham Potter was sacked as Chelsea boss on Sunday evening after less than seven months in charge
Chelsea's 2-0 home defeat to Aston Villa on Saturday ultimately signalled the end for Graham Potter after less than 7 months in charge and the Blues sat in 11th place in the Premier League table.
The loss was Potter's 11th defeat since he took over from Thomas Tuchel back at the start of September and the £550m spent on new players this season couldn't change his fortunes.
Bruno Saltor, who worked with Potter at Brighton before moving with him to Chelsea, has been named as the interim boss of the Blues and is the 4/1 second favourite to get the job on a permanent basis.
Chelsea now out to 14/1 to finish in the Top 6 this season
The Blues are currently languishing in 11th place in the Premier League and 5 points behind Brighton in 6th place in the table with just 10 games left to play this season.
Chelsea are now out to 14/1 from the 7/1 they were last week to finish in the Top 6 this season following another defeat at the weekend to 9th placed Aston Villa.
Finishing in the Top 4 would be a miracle for Chelsea now with Man United 12 points above them in the table and bookies make them 200/1 to finish in the Top 4 at the end of the season.
| Premier League Top 6 Finish | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Man United | 1/33 | 97.1% |
| Newcastle | 1/20 | 95.2% |
| Tottenham | 2/9 | 81.8% |
| Liverpool | 2/7 | 77.8% |
| Brighton | 4/5 | 55.6% |
| Chelsea | 14/1 | 6.7% |
