“Ferguson will be supported in his caretaker position by John Ebbrell and Leighton Baines, along with Goalkeeping Coach Alan Kelly.

“It is the second time Ferguson has taken caretaker charge at the Club, having guided the Blues to five points from three league games against Chelsea, Manchester United and Arsenal in December 2019.

“An announcement on a permanent managerial appointment will be made in due course.”

This is Ferguson’s second spell as caretaker manager after first taking up the role in December 2019, following the sack of Marco Silva.
