Chelsea have sacked Graham Potter as their head coach.
Julian Nagelsmann, sacked a week ago as Bayern Munich boss, has been installed as the favourite to replace Potter.
Potter was appointed as Thomas Tuchel's replacement on September 8 on a five-year deal, but has left the club just seven months into that contract, after winning only seven of his 22 Premier League games in charge.
The former Brighton manager was sacked in a meeting on Sunday at 2.45pm. Some senior figures at Chelsea wanted to remove Potter as manager back in January.
Potter's number two Billy Reid has also left the club. Assistant coach Bjorn Hamberg and goalkeeper coach Ben Roberts will remain and assist Bruno Saltor, who has been appointed as interim head coach.
I feel for Graham Potter, but it was inevitable," summarised Sky Sports pundit Jamie Carragher. "You don't change Tuchel for Potter. Ridiculous decision to start with."
Chelsea face Real Madrid in the Champions League quarter-finals later this month but Potter's departure follows Chelsea's 2-0 defeat at home to Aston Villa on Saturday night, a result which left the Blues 11th in the Premier League table, 12 points behind fourth-placed Manchester United.
During the Stamford Bridge defeat, a section of Chelsea supporters sang: "you don't know what you're doing" at Potter.
