Julian Nagelsmann has broken his silence on the reports that emerged on Friday revealing he had withdrawn from the Chelsea managerial race.
The young head coach looked to be one of the favourites but he has since sent a clear eight-word message clearing up those claims. Speaking to Sky Sports Germany, he said: "To cancel something, you have to say something."
Several reports have later emerged in the aftermath of his decision being confirmed with Nagelsmann said to be concerned about fundamental structural, recruitment and process decisions. While Chelsea were also said to not be totally sold on the 35-year-old.
