Two names emerge as top contenders to replace Pochettino at Chelsea

Chelsea have identified two managers as a potential replacement for Mauricio Pochettino next season.

The Blues are still struggling under the Argentine tactician despite spending close to £1 billion since the takeover of Boehly and Clearlake Capital.

Chelsea's only hope of landing a silverware came crushing down following their 1-0 defeat to Liverpool in the Carabao Cup final.

The Guardian reports that Chelsea's co-owner Todd Boehly has set his sights on Sporting boss Ruben Amorim and Brighton manager Roberto De Zerbi as potential replacement for the former PSG boss.

Amorim has earned a lot of accolades as his side is currently sitting at the top of the Portuguese league.

De Zerbi on the other hand has been phenomenal since taking over from Graham Potter at Brighton.
