Chelsea have approached Julian Nagelsmann and Luis Enrique as they look to appoint a new manager, while it's emerged that Roberto de Zerbi is out of the running.
The Blues are searching for their next boss after sacking Graham Potter on Sunday, putting an end to his miserable seven-month spell at Stamford Bridge. Chelsea paid Brighton a £21.5million compensation fee for Potter's services back in September and his replacement on the south coast, Italian coach De Zerbi, was tipped to succeed him once again.
According to multiple reports, however, the Seagulls manager will be staying put while Chelsea, with co-controlling owner Todd Boehly at the forefront, look elsewhere for a successor. After running the rule over a wide range of candidates, the Telegraph report that Boehly and co have made contact with Nagelsmann and Enrique, who are both thought to be interested in the job and are available for work.
