      Chelsea next manager odds: Bookies reveal main contenders as Pochettino leaves with De Zerbi and Tuchel among favourites

      by

      CHELSEA are back in the market for another new manager following the departure of Mauricio Pochettino tonight.It’s a familiar situation for owner Todd Boehly, having only appointed Poch 11 months ago with Graham Potter and Frank Lampard failing to impress in the dugout.Find The Sun’s betting publishing principles hereBookies reveal main contenders for Chelsea job as Poch leaves with De Zerbi faveCredit: EPADespite the familiarity, it’s somewhat of a surprise to see Pochettino leave, given the flourishing finish to the campaign which saw them secure a Europa League spot and sixth place finish.That saw Poch’s Chelsea record end at 26 wins, 11 draws and 14 defeats in his 51 matches at the helm.However, the timing maybe isn’t that surprising if analysing the bookmaker odds, with former Brighton boss Roberto De Zerbi (9/4) the early frontrunner to replace the Argentine.Betfair have revealed he has been the focus of the early money since the Pochettino announcement a short time ago.De Zerbi revealed over the weekend that the Manchester United game would be his final one in charge as he seeks a new opportunity.He’d revealed that no job offers had arrived though reports suggest that talks have been held with a club as he eyes a return ahead of the new season.Early indications suggest Sebastian Hoeness (6/1) is a main contender for the role after a stellar season at Stuttgart, guiding them to a second place finish in the Bundesliga behind unbeaten Leverkusen.The 42-year-old guided Stuttgart to 23 wins in the 34 match season and has three years remaining on his current deal.It is understood those odds could well shorten in the near future, particularly after they edged out Thomas Tuchel (7/1) and Bayern to runners up.Next Chelsea manager oddsBetfair prices

      Roberto De Zerbi 9/4
      Sebastian Hoeness 6/1
      Thomas Tuchel 7/1
      Enzo Maresca 9/1
      Kieran McKenna 9/1
      Hansi Flick 10/1
      Michel Sanchez 10/1
      Jose Mourinho 14/1
      Xavi Hernandez 14/1
      Julian Nagelsmann 16/1
      Ruben Amorim 18/1
      Antonio Conte 20/1

      Former Blues boss Tuchel is on the move this summer having failed to agree terms to remain at Bayern to continue and it’s believed the Premier League is amongst his top destinations.He overseen 35 Premier League wins in 63 games in his first spell in charge, guiding the club from ninth to fourth when he first took over before also landing a sensational Champions League win.Many of the club’s supporters weren’t happy he wasn’t kept around and a sense of ‘unfinished business’ could well tempt the German back.Enzo Maresca and fellow promotion-winning boss Kieran McKenna are 9/1 with Betfair, with the latter in particular believed to be a name on the early shortlist.McKenna has guided Ipswich to back-to-back promotions but it’s his style of play which has been even more eye-catching.Hansi Flick and Michel Sanchez are 10/1, while the return of the Special One, Jose Mourinho is 14/1 – the same price as Barcelona boss Xavi.Betfair Spokesperson, Sam Rosbottom said: “Following reports of Mauricio Pochettino’s departure from Stamford Bridge, punters have been backing former Brighton manager Roberto De Zerbi to take over, and he has been backed into 9/4 from 10/3 in the past hour.“We all know how well things went for the last former Brighton manager that moved into the Chelsea dugout, and while De Zerbi is the favourite, punters have also been quick to back other candidates.”Money has come in for Ipswich boss Kieran McKenna and Leicester manager Enzo Maresca, who are both now 9/1 having started the day at much bigger odds.”Remember to gamble responsiblyA responsible gambler is someone who:

      Mauricio Pochettino LEAVES Chelsea despite promising end to season as Blues release brief statement after shock exit

      by

      CHELSEA boss Mauricio Pochettino has left the club after 11 months in charge.The Argentine has left Stamford Bridge by mutual consent after leading the Blues to a sixth place Premier League finish this season. Mauricio Pochettino has left Chelsea in a bombshell exitCredit: PAChelsea owner Todd Boehly has got rid of another managerCredit: GettyPochettino’s Chelsea record
      MAURICIO POCHETTINO had just started to turn Chelsea around.
      An impressive run of end-of-season form saw the Blues leapfrog the likes of Manchester United and Newcastle to finish sixth in the Premier League – and earn a Europa League spot.
      But it wasn’t enough to keep him in a job as it was announced on Tuesday evening that the Argentine had left.
      Here are all Pochettino’s Stamford Bridge stats:
      Premier League – 6th
      FA Cup – Semi-finals (lost to Man City)
      Carabao Cup – Runners-up (Lost to Liverpool)
      Total record:
      Games 51Wins 26Draws 11Defeats 14
      Goals for 103Goals against 74

      It’s been reported that Pochettino has been let go after an internal review conducted by co-sporting director’s Paul Winstanley and Laurence Stewart.The pair are said to have been reviewing the 2023/24 season performance and came to the conclusion that Pochettino’s time in West London had to come to an end.The sporting director duo thanked Pochettino for his time in a brief and unceremonious club statement.It read: “On behalf of everyone at Chelsea, we would like to express our gratitude to Mauricio for his service this season. READ MORE IN FOOTBALL”He will be welcome back to Stamford Bridge any time and we wish him all the very best in his future coaching career.”While Pochettino himself also commented on his time with the club, adding: “Thank you to the Chelsea ownership group and Sporting Directors for the opportunity to be part of this football club’s history.”The Club is now well positioned to keep moving forward in the Premier League and Europe in the years to come.”Chelsea earned themselves a spot in in the Carabao Cup final and the FA Cup semi-finals this season, ultimately winning neither.Most read in FootballBEST FREE BET SIGN UP OFFERS FOR UK BOOKMAKERSChelsea next manager oddsWho are the favourites to take over at Stamford Bridge?

      During Pochettino’s short stint with the club he was backed to the tune of around £400m in transfer fees.And despite a turbulent start to the season, he leaves the club having lost just one of his last 15 Premier League games in charge.Who could be Chelsea’s next boss after Pochettino exit?Boehly’s record would make even Abramovich blush… we’re back to square one

      HERE we go again.
      Just when some positivity was building around the place and an optimistic eye was being cast to the future, Clearlake Capital go hurtling full pelt back to the drawing board, write SunSport’s Tom Sheen.
      Mauricio Pochettino leaving will make it six different managers in less than two years when next season rolls around, a record that would make Roman Abramovich blush.
      But while the oligarch was keeping Chelsea’s HR department busy by regularly handing out P45s, he was also regularly delivering world class players in the hope of delivering instant silverware.
      There was no ‘Vision 2030’, talk of players as financial assets or ridiculous eight-year contracts that potentially hamstring the club.
      Hiring and firing worked under the previous regime because Chelsea had a spine of world class talent that they were always looking to improve upon – not a group of players who look light years away from the top teams in the land.
      One thing is for sure, though. If Clearlake carry on down this road they’ll need a rebrand to Vision 2060.
      Click here to read Tom’s damning verdict in full…

      Pochettino becomes the third permanent coach to lose his job as Chelsea boss since the Blues began their new ownership era under the control of Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital.Boehly’s reign has seen over £1BILLION spent on new signings alone – he took over in May 2022.Chelsea also announced that Jesus Perez, Miguel d’Agostino, Toni Jimenez and Sebastiano Pochettino – Poch’s coaching staff – have also left the club.The club confirmed they will be making no further comment until a new manager has been appointed.It’s believed that Stuttgart’s Sebastian Hoeness, Girona’s Michel, Ipswich’s Kieran McKenna and Leicester’s Enzo Maresca are among the candidates to potentially be considered.Who could be the next Chelsea manager?
      HERE are the seven names in the running to replace Mauricio Pochettino after his shock exit from Chelsea.
      Roberto De Zerbi
      The Italian left Brighton at the end of the season after a year and a half in charge. He was linked with a host of top jobs earlier in the campaign but a difficult run of results saw him fall out of contention for the likes of Liverpool. De Zerbi’s attacking, front-foot style would be popular at Stamford Bridge.
      Kieran McKenna
      The former Manchester United assistant has led Ipswich to back-to-back promotions from League One to the Premier League. That has seen his stock shoot through the roof and he may be tempted to jump ship for a big job.
      Enzo Maresca
      Maresca was Pep Guardiola’s assistant at Manchester City and has worked wonders at Leicester, settling the ship to send the Foxes back to the Premier League at the first attempt. Appointing a Pep disciple has turned Arsenal into title contenders, so it could work for Chelsea too.
      Hansi Flick
      Flick was one of football’s most in-demand managers after winning the Champions League with Bayern Munich. But it all went wrong in his next role becoming the first manager ever to be sacked by Germany. Now he’s ready to return and could be a smart move for the Blues
      Sebastian Hoeness
      Chelsea fans may not have heard of him, but Hoeness is Germany’s next big thing. Hoeness has transformed Stuttgart from relegation candidates to the second best team in the Bundesliga, finishing above Bayern Munich. Only invincible Bayer Leverkusen got in the way of a miracle.
      Michel
      Michel Sanchez has worked wonders with little Girona in Spain. The minnows were right in the LaLiga title race at Christmas before watching Real Madrid shoot into the distance. But they ran illustrious Catalan neighbours Barcelona all the way for second and are guaranteed a spot on the Champions League. Reports in Spain say that has caught Chelsea’s attention.
      Jose Mourinho
      Still adored by fans at Stamford Bridge, who never warmed to former Spurs boss Pochettino, Mourinho would be a popular pick. Winner of three Premier League with the Blues across two topsy-turvy spells, could he be the man to take Chelsea back to the top? More
