Chelsea appear to have narrowed down their search for candidates to replace Frank Lampard in the summer. The 44-year-old was appointed caretaker manager earlier this month while Todd Boehly continues the Blues' hunt for a new head coach.
Julian Nagelsmann, Luis Enrique and Marcelo Gallardo have all been name-checked in relation to the vacancy at Stamford Bridge. Mauricio Pochettino, Jose Mourinho and Carlo Ancelotti have also been mentioned, but the latter has ruled himself out – not once but twice.
It's said that the Blues have recently held a round of talks with a number of contenders for the position, and an obvious frontrunner has finally emerged. According to The Guardian, Nagelsmann impressed during initial negotiations, with the 35-year-old the 'likeliest' appointment.
