Julian Nagelsmann has emerged as the front runner to become the next manager of Chelsea after impressing during initial talks.
Nagelsmann made a positive impression during a meeting with the club’s sporting directors, Laurence Stewart and Paul Winstanley, last week and he has support from the co-owner Behdad Eghbali.
Chelsea are keeping their options open and have made contact with Mauricio Pochettino, who has been out of work since leaving Paris Saint-Germain last summer.
