Julian Nagelsmann is one of the managers linked with the Chelsea job following Graham Potter's sacking on Sunday night.
The German was sacked from his role as head coach at Bayern Munich last month and was replaced by former Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel. Following Potter's sacking, football.london understands Nagelsmann is the Blues' top managerial target.
Luis Enrique and Mauricio Pochettino have also been linked with the job at Stamford Bridge, but Nagelsmann is the primary target. The club statement released on Sunday reads: "Chelsea FC has announced that Graham Potter has departed the club. Graham has agreed to collaborate with the Club to facilitate a smooth transition. In his time with the club, Graham has taken us to the quarter-final of the Champions League, where we will face Real Madrid. Chelsea would like to thank Graham for all his efforts and contribution and wish him well for the future."
