Chelsea 'are NOT considering Brighton manager Roberto De Zerbi' as Graham Potter's replacement because Italian 'doesn't fit the profile they want', as ex-Barcelona boss Luis Enrique prepares for talks on a long list of candidates

Brighton boss Roberto De Zerbi is reportedly not in the running to take over at Chelsea following Graham Potter's sacking - as former Spain and Barcelona boss Luis Enrique prepares for talks with the club.

Former Seagulls boss Potter was dismissed by the Blues on Sunday evening after less than seven months in charge, with Chelsea languishing in a lowly 11th in the Premier League.

The final straw for the club was their dismal 2-0 defeat to Aston Villa on Saturday, with the Englishman winning just 12 of his 31 games in charge.
