Julian Nagelsmann was a leading candidate to replace Graham Potter at Chelsea before the German pulled out of the running to become the Blues' next permanent manager. football.london reported earlier this month that Nagelsmann was a serious contender to replace Potter and had held talks with Chelsea's representatives.
The former Bayern Munich boss has since withdrawn from the running after harbouring serious concerns over the recruitment process, according to the Daily Mail. The west London outfit have narrowed down their search to just three candidates with Ange Postecoglou joining Mauricio Pochettino and Burnely boss Vincent Kompany in the final round of talks.
football.london understands that the club have held positive talks with Pochettino regarding taking over from Potter. The Blues hierarchy are huge admirers of the 51-year-old and his qualities and the players at Stamford Bridge are open to the idea of working with the former Tottenham manager.
