A surprising front-runner has emerged as the top choice to replace Mauricio Pochettino as Chelsea manager.

Following Pochettino’s scathing assessment of his team after their 4-2 loss to Wolves, speculation surrounding his future has intensified.

In his post-match comments via Sky Sports, Pochettino didn’t mince words: “I think we are all not good enough, that’s the reality… What we showed today was that we are not good enough. I agree, 100 percent.”

Acknowledging his responsibility, Pochettino emphasized the need for accountability among the players and himself: “We didn’t manage the situation properly… We are not matching the history of the club… We have to keep working, try hard to change.”

Michel Sanchez

As pressure mounts on Pochettino, a new name has emerged as the front runner in the betting world to succeed him.

According to BonusCodeBets, Girona head coach Michel Sanchez leads the pack with odds of 6/4. Not far behind is Brighton boss Roberto De Zerbi at 3/1, followed by the ever-present José Mourinho at 4/1.

Xabi Alonso, rumored to be in line to succeed Jürgen Klopp at Liverpool, is priced at 5/1 for the Stamford Bridge role.

Meanwhile, Zinedine Zidane stands at 6/1, offering Chelsea another experienced option after he departs from Real Madrid in 2021.
