Chelsea's search for a new manager continues and fresh names are still being linked with the role vacated by Graham Potter over four weeks ago. Mauricio Pochettino is the new favourite for the job after Julian Nagelsmann backed out of the running but a surprise third choice has arisen.
It was long believed that Nagelsmann was the front-runner for the role having been sacked by Bayern Munich following a run that threatened their Bundesliga and Champions League aims. The 35-year-old has since come out of the race to be the third permanent head coach in 10 months under Todd Boehly-Clearlake Capital.
Luis Enrique was also amongst the early contenders but has since dropped out. Outsiders Vincent Kompany, Ruben Amorim and Oliver Glasner have also been discussed but one name was reported as being a mystery and surprise even after the latest Nagelsmann update.
