Poch n’ Potter in for Blues gig

MAURICIO POCHETTINO AND GRAHAM POTTER have been installed as joint favourites with Ladbrokes to replace Thomas Tuchel at Chelsea.

Following Tuchel’s shock Stamford Bridge exit on Wednesday morning, the bookies have put Pochettino and Potter at the head of the betting at 6/4 apiece, with Zinedine Zidane an 8/1 shot ahead of Gian Piero Gasperini at 10/1.

Elsewhere, Patrick Vieira is among the 25/1 shots alongside Thomas Frank, while former Leeds boss, Marcelo Bielsa is a 20/1 shot and current boss, Jesse Marsch is 50/1 as things stand.

Alex Apati of Ladbrokes told TBH: “Thomas Tuchel’s Chelsea exit has left the world scratching its head, but the odds suggest a return to London could well be on the cards for Mauricio Pochettino.”
