Man Utd players involved in angry dressing room inquest after Newcastle defeat

Premier League
Newcastle United inflicted pain on Erik ten Hag's Manchester United with the race for the top four now in the hands of Eddie Howe's team.

Julian Nagelsmann’s stance on replacing Potter as Chelsea head coach

Julian Nagelsmann’s stance on replacing Potter as Chelsea head coach

Premier League
Chelsea will have to work hard to convince Julian Nagelsmann to replace Graham Potter as their new manager before the end of the current campaign. Potter’s seven-month tenure was brought to an end on Sunday, just over 24 hours on from a 2-0 defeat against Aston Villa that left their hopes of qualifying for Europe next season in tatters. A Champions League quarter-final against Real Madrid is on the horizon and Todd Boehly is reluctant to head into that clash without Potter’s permanent replacement in place. Nagelsmann, who was sacked by Bayern Munich only last week despite the German club still in contention to win the treble, has emerged as the No.1 candidate to succeed Potter. The 35-year-old is currently on holiday and, according to Gianluca Di Marzio, would want to wait un...

Chelsea players left ‘worried’ by Potter sacking after finding out on club website

Premier League
Chelsea players have been left worried by the sacking of Graham Potter, according to reports. The Blues took the decision to axe the Englishman with a 2-0 defeat at home to Aston Villa being the final nail in the coffin of the ex-Brighton manager's six-month tenure in the capital. Now, it appears that those at the club are concerned about Todd Boehly's pattern, similar to that of former owner Roman Abramovich. Potter's staff, along with Bruno Salter who will temporarily take charge of the London side, have stayed on ahead of their match against Liverpool on Tuesday. atOptions = { 'key' : '677bec88d5359434973f045e310a9066', 'format' : 'iframe', 'height' : 250, 'width' : 300, 'params' : {} }; document.write(''); According to The Telegraph, "stunned and wo...
