Bookies reveal 10 most likely names to replace Mauricio Pochettino at Chelsea

UPDATE - Reports now claim that Leicester City's Enzo Maresca is set to become Chelsea's next manager. The former Man City coach will take over from Mauricio Pochettino in the Blues dugout from next season.

Ladbrokres have revealed the ten most likely names to replace Mauricio Pochettino as Chelsea manager ahead of the 2024/25 Premier League season.

Following the Argentine's surprise Stamford Bridge exit earlier this week, the installed Kieran McKenna as the favourite in the betting at 7/4, with Enzo Maresca close behind at 2/1.

McKenna is now seen as the front-runner with the bookies, with Roberto De Zerbi being displaced. The Blues clearly feel confident in their pursuit of the Ipswich Town manager, despite interest from Brighton.

De Zerbi has even fallen below Enzo Marseca (2/1) of Leicester City in the betting odds, with the former Brighton manager now at 4/1 to take over from Pochettino and be in the Stamford Bridge dugout next season.

Elsewhere, there's currently nothing to split Jose Mourinho and Ruben Amorim who are both at 5/1, with a surprise return for Thomas Tuchel an outside pick at 18/1.

1. Kieran McKenna - 7/4 (Ipswich Town)
2. Enzo Maresca - 2/1 (Leicester City)
3. Roberto De Zerbi - 4/1 (Free Agent)
4. Jose Mourinho - 5/1 (Free Agent)
5. Ruben Amorim - 5/1 (Sporting Lisbon)
6. Thomas Frank - 10/1 (Brentford)
7. Thomas Tuchel - 18/1 - (Bayern Munich)
8. Cesc Fabregas - 20/1 (Como)
9. Sebastian Hoeness - 20/1 (Stuttgart)
10. Hansi Flick - 20/1 (Free Agent)

Chelsea aren't the only top side assessing the manager market this summer, with Man United potentially looking to sack Erik ten Hag and replace him ahead of the 2024/25 season, which they're fifth favourites to win with odds of 25/1.

The current front-runner for the Man United job is actually Tuchel, who has managed his last game for the German giants and is reportedly eyeing up a return to the Premier League, but Pochettino is no longer viewed by the bookies as the leading candidate.
