Does Julian Nagelsmann’s sacking change Chelsea’s plans?
Soon to be Blue, Christopher Nkunku even credits the German for a majority of his development at Leipzig. It is going to be difficult to pass up a manager like Nagelsmann, especially if he has the potential to land at one of your inter-city rivals. His intelligence, adaptability, and player-focused attitude are just some of the traits that the now largest fish in the managerial pool possesses.
It is not all about Nagelsmann, it is more about Potter. The German fits the bill. He knows how to teach, and his age makes his ceiling even higher. Given the right belief, the former Bayern man could be leading the Blues back to the top of the Premier League some day. Potter’s leash has extended quite a bit since the win over Dortmund, but if Real Madrid knocks Potter’s men out of Europe in the quarterfinals and Nagelsmann is still on the market, it could be time to make a switch.

For right now, the focus should be on developing a culture with Potter at the helm. Nagelsmann is without question an enticing manager to bring in, but at this point, it makes a lot more sense to provide Potter with a full offseason in west London before making a final managerial decision.
