Chelsea conduct Ange Postecoglou 'due diligence' as Celtic boss gets next manager thorough look from Boehly

Chelsea have reportedly undergone "extensive due diligence" on Celtic boss Ange Postecoglou as they whittle down their managerial shortlist to three names.

The Stamford Bridge side are on the hunt for their next permanent manager with Frank Lampard holding the fort amid a search for Graham Potter's successor. It's widely reported Julian Nagelsmann and Luis Enrique have both decided against it with former Spurs and PSG boss Mauricio Pochettino the frontrunner.

Blues owner Todd Boehly is assessing the field and Burnley's Vincent Kompany, fresh off leading the Clarets back to the Premier League, is widely believed to be another name under consideration. The Telegraph say that duo are on the final three-name shortlist alongside an "unnamed candidate." Lampard, yet to win a game in his second spell, isn't thought to be in with a serious chance of landing the job permanently with his impact not what the club had planned when he was handed the reins temporarily.
