EPL: Silva set to take Chelsea job after Potter sacking
Fulham head coach Marco Silva has reportedly emerged as a surprise candidate to land the vacancy at Chelsea after manager Graham Potter was sacked on Sunday night.
Chelsea co-owner Todd Boehly sacked Potter following the Blues' 2-0 Premier League loss to Aston Villa on Saturday.
The result against Aston Villa left Chelsea 11th in the Premier League table.
However, a number of top managers in Europe have already been linked with the vacancy and a shock candidate from the Premier League has also emerged.
According to The Mirror, Silva has admirers at Chelsea and is a leading candidate to replace Potter at the west London club.
The Portuguese has helped oversee Fulham's incredible season so far, with his side sitting one place above Chelsea on the log.
The report adds that former Bayern Munich manager Julian Nagelsmann and former Paris Saint-Germain manager Mauricio Pochettino also remain in contention for the Chelsea job.
