Julian Nagelsmann has emerged as the front-runner for the vacant Chelsea head coach role, football.london understands.
The Blues are currently searching for Graham Potter's permanent successor following the 47-year-old's departure at the start of the month. Bruno Saltor took charge of Chelsea for just one game – the goalless draw with Liverpool at Stamford Bridge – before club legend Frank Lampard was brought back to west London to lead the team for the remainder of the season.
Lampard's start to life back at Chelsea has been pretty disastrous, albeit in very difficult circumstances. The Blues have lost all four of the matches Lampard has taken charge of and have only scored one goal along the way.
