Chelsea are in talks with Julian Nagelsmann over becoming their new permanent manager, according to a report.
The 35-year-old's time with Bayern Munich ended last month as they sacked him and replaced him with former Blues' boss Thomas Tuchel. The Sunday Times claim that the first in-person talks took place between the Bavarian and the Stamford Bridge hierarchy on Thursday and he joins former Spain boss Luis Enrique in having held such discussions, with the Spaniard's taking place before Frank Lampard's appointment as caretaker manager.
Nagelsmann has been a top level coach ever since he was handed the reins at Bundesliga side TSG Hoffenheim at the tender age of 28 and he became the most expensive coach in history after Bayern agreed to pay his reported €25 million release clause just two years ago to take him from RB Leipzig after he'd guided them to a Champions League semi-final.
