Julian Nagelsmann's agent has described Chelsea as a club "in troubled waters" and insisted his client was correct to snub a move to Stamford Bridge.
Volker Struth, the agent of the former Bayern Munich boss, has also claimed that the Blues viewed Nagelsmann as their number one target and only turned their attentions to Mauricio Pochettino once it became clear they would miss out on their main man.
Pochettino is on the cusp of becoming the latest manager at the helm of Chelsea, with the Argentine expected to sign a three-year deal in the coming days. It marks his first return to the English game since he was sacked from his post as Tottenham boss in November 2019.
