Former Tottenham and Manchester United midfielder Christian Eriksen has already revealed the secret to Mauricio Pochettino's training sessions amid a potential switch for the Argentinian to the vacant managerial role at Chelsea. There is still no agreement in place between Chelsea and Pochettino despite confidence being high that a deal can be struck between both parties, football.london understands.
Any deal for the head coach to take over at Chelsea is likely to be at the end of the season, despite increasing pressure over the tenure of Frank Lampard after going winless in his first five fixtures. The former midfielder-turned-interim gave a blunt response over whether he has had any indication Pochettino would be taking the hot seat after him.
Following a disappointing 2-0 defeat to Brentford at Stamford Bridge, Lampard was asked whether he has an update on the search for a permanent manager. He simply replied, "Nothing" as the wait for confirmation on the next head coach continues to drag on.
