Monday evening proved highly significant in Chelsea's continued search for a new permanent head coach.
football.london understands the Blues held very positive talks with Mauricio Pochettino and his entourage on Monday night regarding the vacant manager's position at Stamford Bridge. Graham Potter was sacked earlier in the month and the club have been on the hunt for a permanent successor ever since but are determined to ensure they do not repeat past mistakes and rush the process.
However, the process appears to almost be over. Pochettino is now the clear front-runner for the job and it's understood there is confidence from both sides that the deal will get done.
