Frank Leboeuf has revealed who he would want to replace Graham Potter if Chelsea decided to sack the manager following the team’s dismal run.
Despite the heavy spending at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea have endured a poor season and sit just 10th in the Premier League following Saturday’s 1-0 defeat at home to Southampton.
The Blues have won just two of their last 14 games in all competitions to slip 10 points outside of the top-four and on the verge of a Champions League exit.
Potter impressed at Brighton before replacing Thomas Tuchel in the Stamford Bridge hot-seat earlier in the season but the 47-year-old’s tenure is quickly unravelling, with members of his own squad reportedly questioning his ability to turn things around.
Despite the question marks over Potter and Chelsea’s poor form, the club’s owners are reportedly prepared to stick by the ex-Brighton boss and almost write off this season with a view to the future.
Leboeuf, who won three Champions League titles and two La Liga titles while playing for Chelsea, said he would be ‘very pleased’ if Zinedine Zidane was to take over.
Zidane, who won three Champions League trophies and two La Liga titles while in charge of Real Madrid, left the Spanish giants in 2021 and has been out of work since.
