Chelsea have reached a verbal agreement with Brighton manager, Graham Potter to replace Thomas Tuchel as their next head coach, Sky Sports reports.
Tuchel was sacked on Wednesday in the wake of Chelsea’s 1-0 loss to Dinamo Zagreb in the Champions League and just six games into the new Premier League season.
Chelsea owner Todd Boehly met Potter in central London on Wednesday afternoon for what were described as “positive talks” about the Brighton manager’s future role at Stamford Bridge and the club’s plans to develop the whole football operation.
Those discussions continued early on Thursday morning, with the focus on the legal details of his contract and Potter’s backroom staff.
No contracts have yet been signed, however both sides have reached a verbal agreement about the 47-year-old taking over at Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea made it clear they were prepared to meet Brighton’s exit clause figure for Potter.
Mauricio Pochettino and Zinedine Zidane, who are both out of work, as well as Sporting in Lisbon manager Ruben Amorim were all also on Chelsea’s radar.
