Next Chelsea manager odds: Roberto De Zerbi early favourite to replace Mauricio Pochettino | OneFootball

Chelsea are looking for another new manager following the shock departure of Mauricio Pochettino.

Only days after leading the Blues to a top-six finish in the Premier League, it was confirmed on Tuesday that the former Tottenham manager would depart.

Pochettino is believed to have left Stamford Bridge on good terms but the differences in vision he had for the club compared to co-sporting directors Laurence Stewart and Paul Winstanley proved too vast to overcome.

The west London giants are now looking for their third permanent manager of the Todd Boehly-Clearlake Capital era.

Standard Sport understands Ruben Amorim and Kieran McKenna of Sporting CP and Ipswich Town respectively have both been sounded out about the role of late.

Still, Roberto De Zerbi, who announced he would be leaving Brighton before the end of the season, has emerged as an early frontrunner among the bookies.

Robert De Zerbi 5/2

Hansi Flick 5/1

Julian Nagelsmann 5/1

Sebastian Hoeness 6/1

Thomas Tuchel 7/1

Kieran McKenna 9/1

Michel Sanchez 10/1

Jose Mourinho 14/1

Xavi Hernandez 14/1

Ruben Amorim 18/1

Antonio Conte 20/1

Simone Inzaghi 20/1

Unai Emery 20/1
