Chelsea have stepped up their efforts to hire a new manager by inviting Julian Nagelsmann to London to present his ideas for the club.
The Blues are hoping to appoint a new long-term manager this summer after sacking Thomas Tuchel and Graham Potter in the 2022/23 season. Club legend Frank Lampard is currently in charge of the team as caretaker until the end of the campaign, but is unlikely to be given the role on a full-time basis.
Chelsea co-owners Todd Boehly and Behdad Eghbali, sporting directors Laurence Stewart and Paul Winstanley and technical director Christopher Vivell are the group leading the search for a new boss. Nagelsmann and Luis Enrique have emerged as the leading contenders for the role.
