Chelsea appear to be a step closer towards appointing Julian Nagelsmann as head coach in the summer. The Blues have been heavily linked with various candidates to replace Frank Lampard, who was named caretaker boss earlier this month while Todd Boehly continues the search for a new manager.
Nagelsmann, Luis Enrique and Zinedine Zidane have all been name-checked in relation to the vacancy at Stamford Bridge. Marcelo Gallardo, Jose Mourinho and Carlo Ancelotti have also been mentioned, but the latter has ruled himself out not once but twice.
While an obvious frontrunner is yet to emerge, the west Londoners appear closer to be making a final decision. According to Sky Sports Germany, Chelsea officials held a 'very positive' meeting with Nagelsmann last week.
