Mauricio Pochettino has already warned Todd Boehly that 'too many big stars' can cause confusion ahead of his potential Chelsea appointment. The 51-year-old has been heavily linked with taking the reins at Stamford Bridge as the Blues look to replace Frank Lampard at the end of the season.
Julian Nagelsmann emerged as an early favourite to fill the vacancy in west London but, after talks broke down, he distanced himself from proceedings. Luis Enrique was also name-checked in relation to the head coach position but, after reportedly making several demands, he also dropped out.
Now, according to The Times, Pochettino is the frontrunner, with Vincent Kompany and Ange Postecoglou said to be on Chelsea's radar too. The report states that the former Paris Saint-Germain boss has held 'a series of positive talks' with the club this week, establishing himself as an 'extremely strong candidate'.
