Chelsea are exploring alternative options to Julian Nagelsmann, despite opening talks with the former Bayern Munich boss.
The Blues are on the search for their third permanent manager since Todd Boehly took over as owner last May. The American sacked Thomas Tuchel in September, before firing his replacement Graham Potter at the start of the month.
Frank Lampard is in interim charge, but the Blues are pushing ahead with their search for a permanent boss to take over at the end of the season. Nagelsmann is one of the frontrunners, but Vincent Kompany's name is also being increasingly put forward.
