Tottenham have seen their hopes of appointing Julian Nagelsmann increase after he pulled out of the running to become Chelsea's next manager. Despite being the front-runner for the role, as football.london understood, Nagelsmann and Chelsea could not agree on 'crucial points' which has subsequently seen him withdraw as a candidate, according to Fabrizio Romano.
The former Bayern Munich boss was one of the leading head coach's for the job alongside Mauricio Pochettino. Both had recently held talks with Chelsea officials and both had therefore made it onto the four-man shortlist which also included Vincent Kompany and one other unknown name.
That shortlist now looks to have three names on it though, rather than four, following a major update from Romano in regard to Nagelsmann. On Twitter he wrote: "Julian Nagelsmann has now withdrawn from the race to become the new Chelsea head coach — it looks like it’s his final decision. Nagelsmann has been in regular contact with Chelsea — but crucial points were never fully agreed."
