Jose Mourinho will soon become the manager of this shocking Premier League club

Although Nagelsmann is viewed as the front-runner to permanently succeed Potter (Fabrizio Romano), according to a recent report from Relevo, the Blues have also contacted Jose Mourinho and former Spurs manager Nuno Espirito Santo.

Chelsea has added a surprise former Premier League manager to its managerial shortlist.

Frank Lampard has been appointed as Chelsea’s interim manager until the end of the season.

The Blues are looking for a new permanent manager after sacking Graham Potter last week, and several names have already been linked, including former Bayern Munich manager Julian Nagelsmann.

Luis Enrique is also thought to be a candidate for the vacant position, but the latest reports will come as a surprise, particularly the links to Santo, who had a turbulent time with rivals Spurs.

Between June 2021 and November 2021, the ex-Wolves manager managed just eight wins from 17 games in charge of the Lilywhites before Daniel Levy decided to part ways with the Portuguese tactician.

Although the 49-year-old, who is currently in charge of Saudi club Al-Ittihad, has improved his win percentage, many will argue that his credentials do not match what is required to be a success at Stamford Bridge, and with owner Todd Boehly desperate for an immediate impact, appointing Santo would be viewed as a huge, and potentially unnecessary, risk.
