Mauricio Pochettino is now the favourite to become Chelsea's next manager after a major update came to light regarding previous favourite Julian Nagelsmann. According to Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano, Nagelsmann has pulled out from the race after the latest round of talks.
After impressing in face-to-face talks last Thursday, football.london reported that the young German coach was the front-runner for the vacancy at Stamford Bridge, however that no longer looks the case.
The tweet from Romano published on Friday afternoon read: "Julian Nagelsmann has now withdrawn from the race to become the new Chelsea head coach — it looks like it’s his final decision. German coach is said to be no longer available after multiple round of talks. Nagelsmann was top candidate for the job."
