Chelsea have narrowed down their managerial hunt to just three candidates: Mauricio Pochettino, Ange Postecoglou and Vincent Kompany. The latter has now issued a fresh response to rumours that he could become Graham Potter's replacement at Stamford Bridge.
Pochettino is understood to be the leading candidate after holding positive talks with Chelsea representatives in recent weeks - despite previously managing Tottenham. Spurs are on the search for their own new manager after sacking Antonio Conte last month.
Cristian Stellini's future as the interim boss is being discussed by the club and he could be dismissed after a poor result against Newcastle at the weekend. Julian Nagelsmann has pulled out of the race to become the next Blues' boss after having 'serious concerns' about the west Londoners' recruitment process.
