However, the team has seen its fourth manager of the current Premier League campaign, with Frank Lampard returning as caretaker manager for the remainder of the season. The club's recent managerial turnover epitomizes the chaos of the season, with the sacking of Thomas Tuchel and Graham Potter, and the team struggling to score goals.

Chelsea has appointed Frank Lampard as caretaker manager until the end of the season, following the sacking of Graham Potter. Lampard, who remains the club's all-time leading goal scorer, managed Chelsea between June 2019 to January 2021, leading them to a top-four finish and the 2020 FA Cup Final. The club is still searching for a permanent successor, with sources suggesting they are considering between five to seven candidates for the role. Lampard said he was not thinking about the role on a full-time basis and is focused on impacting the club in the best way during this period.
Chelsea faces Liverpool in a Premier League showdown with Bruno Saltor as the interim head coach following the sacking of Graham Potter. Liverpool, like Chelsea, has struggled this season, and Jurgen Klopp is under pressure to secure three points.

Chelsea has some injury problems to contend with, but Raheem Sterling could make his return to action.
Brighton's Roberto De Zerbi is not being considered for the position of Chelsea's next manager after Graham Potter's departure. The Chelsea hierarchy holds Brighton's Tony Bloom and Paul Barber in high esteem, but De Zerbi does not fit the profile they are looking for. The search for a long-term replacement for Potter is underway, led by the club's co-sporting directors before a decision is ultimately made by co-owners Todd Boehly and Behdad Eghbali.
Chelsea have begun their search for a new manager to replace Graham Potter, who was sacked on Saturday night. The club is reportedly looking to interview at least four to five candidates, with Julian Nagelsmann, Mauricio Pochettino, Luis Enrique, and Luciano Spaletti among the names mentioned. The club ideally wants to have a new manager in place for the Champions League quarterfinals against Real Madrid in two weeks. In the meantime, Potter's assistants will take charge, with Bruno Saltor named Interim Head Coach.
Chelsea are considering Julian Nagelsmann, Mauricio Pochettino, Rúben Amorim, Oliver Glasner, and Luis Enrique as potential candidates for their managerial position. The club is not in a rush to make a decision and is willing to wait until the summer to appoint a full-time replacement for Graham Potter. Chelsea's co-owners want the search to be exhaustive, and responsibility has been handed to the sporting directors. Nagelsmann is the early favorite, but the former Bayern Munich manager is not certain to land the job. Chelsea would also like to speak to Pochettino, who has been out of work since leaving Paris Saint-Germain.
Bruno Saltor, who was part of Graham Potter's backroom staff at Brighton & Hove Albion, finds himself in interim charge of Chelsea after Potter's sacking. Saltor, who has never been a No 1, will have just over 24 hours to prepare for the visit of Liverpool. He was a technically gifted right-back who played for Valencia and Almeria in his homeland, and earned the nickname 'El Capitan' during his 10-year stay at Brighton. Saltor concentrated more on attacking moves in his work under Potter at Brighton and will have learnt from Potter's collaborative approach and from playing under Unai Emery when the now-Aston Villa head coach was in charge at Valencia.
Graham Potter failed to deliver progress and consistency as Chelsea's manager despite receiving endless backing from the club's hierarchy.

The next manager will have to get along with higher-ups, win games, show progress, and get players to perform to their potential.
Chelsea has sacked head coach Graham Potter after less than seven months in charge following their 2-0 home defeat to Aston Villa.

Chelsea host Liverpool on Tuesday and face Real Madrid in their Champions League quarterfinal tie later this month.
After the sacking of Graham Potter, Julian Nagelsmann is a hot candidate to take over as Chelsea's new manager. However, his contract with Bayern Munich is still running until 2026, and Chelsea would have to pay a huge transfer fee. Bayern Munich could also stand to get paid handsomely if Chelsea agrees to a deal with Nagelsmann. Nagelsmann is likely to take a break for the rest of the season as he ponders how it all went wrong at Bayern. Chelsea is currently eleventh in the Premier League table, but they still have a chance to qualify for next year's Champions League if they win this year's tournament.
