Todd Boehly has been reassured that Mauricio Pochettino is well-equipped to succeed at Chelsea after comments from Adam Lallana have resurfaced. The former Tottenham boss has been heavily linked with replacing Frank Lampard in the summer following the withdrawal of Julian Nagelsmann from the running.
The former Bayern Munich boss emerged as an early favourite to fill the vacancy at Stamford Bridge however, after talks broke down, he distanced himself from proceedings. Luis Enrique was also name-checked in relation to the position in west London but, after reportedly making several demands, he also dropped out.
Carlo Ancelotti was mentioned as well, though he ruled himself out of contention – not once but twice. Now, according to The Times, Pochettino is now at the top of the Blues' shortlist.
