Mauricio Pochettino has been active on social media amid links with the vacant manager job at Chelsea. The former Tottenham boss is closing in on becoming the third permanent head coach of the club under Todd Boehly-Clearlake Capital.
He has held positive talks with the club and is still expected to replace Frank Lampard at the end of the season. Given the interim boss' position and the lack of jeopardy left in the campaign there is no immediate rush.
Although the prospect of Real Madrid swooping in for his services linger in the background it is Chelsea that are in near exclusive talks with the Argentine. As he conducts negotiations himself and on behalf of his quartet of close backroom staff, things are being taken slowly.
