[Chelsea](https://www.mirror.co.uk/all-about/chelsea-fc) [sacked Graham Potter on Sunday](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/breaking-graham-potter-sacked-chelsea-29612972) following the 2-0 home defeat by Aston Villa. [Everton](https://www.mirror.co.uk/all-about/everton-fc) in January, was at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday night to watch Chelsea's 0-0 draw against [Liverpool](https://www.mirror.co.uk/all-about/liverpool-fc). But agents have offered them several more with the Bridge post seen as one of the most prestigious in Europe. But Julian Nagelsmann, sacked by Bayern Munich two weeks ago, remains the leading contender. He jetted back to Spain on Wednesday afternoon following quick-fire discussions over the role. Boehly and Eghbali have spent over £550million on transfers since buying the club from Roman Abramovich last May, but the team have struggled massively, with Potter winning just 12 of his 30 games in charge.

Indeed, owner Farhad Moshiri pulled the trigger after a miserable run of form - and ultimately brought in Sean Dyche to try and avoid relegation. He was not there as a fan, with the owners weighing up whether to appoint him as interim manager until the end of the season.

Frank Lampard was at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday night to watch their goalless draw against Liverpool; Chelsea legend managed club for 18 months before being ...

The club legend was sacked in January 2021 just over a month after taking the team to the top of the Premier League table. But the high expectations at Chelsea demand he comes up with an answer with this group. The draw with Liverpool on Tuesday night was a perfect example of their toothlessness right now. The previous year his side had ranked 16th for converting clear-cut chances. But could he have a similarly decisive impact on this current crop? "There are no plans that anyone is aware of at the moment for Lampard to be Chelsea's next permanent manager, but we've seen this happen in the past. If anyone knows about the demands - and ruthlessness - at Chelsea it's Frank Lampard. In his second season, they were playing well and were top of the table about a month before he lost his job because of a poor run of form. "Things went wrong for him in his final month in charge, but people do forget that he did do a good job as the Chelsea manager in extremely difficult circumstances. If they were to win it, it would be an incredible achievement. He lives close to Stamford Bridge, he's available at the moment and he's been the Chelsea manager before. "Even that experience hasn't changed the way Chelsea supporters think about him.
