Mauricio Pochettino is the favourite to become Chelsea's next manager. Frank Lampard is currently in charge as caretaker boss until the end of the season following Graham Potter's dismissal last month.
The Blues finally won their first game under Lampard as goals from Conor Gallagher, Benoit Badiashile and Joao Felix were enough to beat Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium. Chelsea had lost six consecutive games under the Blues legend before their 3-1 win on the south-coast on Saturday afternoon.
football.london understands that positive talks have been held with Pochettino in recent weeks despite no agreement being reached - yet. Now that the Blues have mathematically secured their Premier League survival for next season - we could expect to see some more movement regarding a new managerial appointment before the end of May.
