Chelsea have opted to sack Graham Potter just over six months after bringing him into the club.
The Blues moved quickly to replace Thomas Tuchel with Potter, as the ambitious coach departed Brighton & Hove Albion, as part of a new challenge.

Chelsea face a huge battle to secure a top four spot in the Premier League this season, on the back of losing against Aston Villa, Potter has been removed from his role.
Alongside a demanding end to the Premier League campaign, Chelsea face Real Madrid in the Champions League quarter finals this month, for a third successive knockout stage campaign.
Bruno Saltor will take interim charge of the first team, with the former Valencia defender potentially set to lead them against Real Madrid.
