Chelsea co-owners Todd Boehly and Behdad Eghbali have been spotted in Los Angeles as club figures prepare to meet today regarding the appointment of a new manager at Stamford Bridge. Former Tottenham Hotspur and Paris Saint-Germain boss Mauricio Pochettino is leading the race to succeed Graham Potter after former Bayern Munich manager Julian Naglesmann dropped out of the running.
There is still no agreement in place between Chelsea and Pochettino despite confidence being high that a deal can be struck between both parties, football.london understands. Ange Postecoglou and Vincent Kompany were among the candidates being considered by the Blues, but it seems Pochettino is now the favourite to take the hot seat at Chelsea.
Gary Neville believes the Blues have the 'perfect' squad for Pochettino to take charge of ahead of next season and can see the former Spurs boss taking Chelsea back into the Champions League. The Argentine wants assistant Jesus Perez and goalkeeper coach Toni Jimenez with him at Chelsea if he is offered the job, along with his eldest son Sebastiano, who worked on his staff at Spurs and PSG, and Steve Hitchen, former chief scout at Tottenham.
