Chelsea have held face to face talks with former Bayern Munich boss Julian Nagelsmann as the Blues step up their search for Graham Potter's permanent replacement.
Potter was sacked by Chelsea earlier this month after less than seven months in charge, with the club languishing in the bottom half of the Premier League following a 2-0 loss to Aston Villa. Just four days later, Frank Lampard returned to Stamford Bridge as caretaker manager until the end of the season while the club looks for a more permanent successor.
Nagelsmann, who was himself sacked by Bayern in March, was immediately linked with the role along with the likes of former Spain and Barcelona manager Luis Enrique and ex-PSG and Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino.
