Chelsea have shifted their attention from Julian Nagelsman and Luis Enrique towards a more familiar name for Premier League viewers. Having been interviewed by the club in September following the sacking of Thomas Tuchel, Mauricio Pochettino has emerged as the new favourite for the job.
The ex-Spurs boss is yet to re-enter management having been dismissed by Paris Saint-Germain at the end of last season and has had over nine months out of action. That may be about to change soon though with the Argentine moving to the top of the list to become the next head coach at Stamford Bridge.
35-year-old Nagelsmann had been the clear front-runner since Graham Potter's departure but talks have since broken down. It has opened the door to a return to London and England for Pochettino, who was one of just two people discussed by Todd Boehly and Behdad Egbahli earlier this season.
