Maresca, McKenna, Amorim, De Zerbi and even Thomas Frank… In recent hours, the possible successors to Mauricio Pochettino on the Chelsea bench have multiplied. At the same time, The Standard made a confusing revelation, claiming that José Mourinho, without a club since leaving Roma, has been tipped for a third spell at Stamford Bridge. At least on the bookmakers’ side.

Steve Freeth bet365 declared: “from 10:15am to 10:50am this morning, all the bets we took on the next Chelsea manager were on Jose Mourinho, which flies in the face of reports that Chelsea wanted a young, dynamic manager”. Minutes later, Mourinho finally became third favorite, behind Maresca and McKenna, but still ahead of Brentford’s Amorim, De Zerbi and Thomas Frank.
