Mauricio Pochettino is edging closer to becoming the new Chelsea manager as a report reveals the ‘real reason’ Julian Nagelsmann won’t be getting the job.
Reports have suggested Nagelsmann walked away from Chelsea as he grew impatient with the process, but it’s now been claimed it’s the club that backed away from negotiations.
Nagelsmann was favourite for the vacant permanent position at Stamford Bridge, along with Luis Enrique, but both of those candidates are now thought to be out of the running.
It’s been claimed that Chelsea were concerned that Enrique hadn’t managed a club side since 2017, when he left Barcelona, but Fabrizio Romano reported that it was Nagelsmann who had decided to end talks with the Premier League side.
“Luis Enrique is out of the race to become new Chelsea coach — no changes at all. It was decided on club side,” Romano said.
“Mauricio Pochettino remains the favourite candidate as revealed on Friday after the Julian Nagelsmann situation changed. I’ll have more to follow on Poch soon.
