Julian Nagelsmann is a few meetings away from becoming Chelsea's new manager, replacing Graham Potter
Julan Nagelsmann’s representatives have confirmed talks with Chelsea as the German manager continues to be the favourite to succeed former Blues manager Graham Potter.
According to reports, there has been confirmation of an approach from Chelsea for Nagelsmann, who recently became available after also being asked to leave his former club Bayern Munich.
Nagelsmann’s representatives confirm Chelsea talks
The former Hoffenheim and RB Leipzig manager emerged as a favourite to replace Potter even before the English man left the Chelsea post. It appears that the Blues are keen to tie up a deal for the 35-year-old manager as soon as possible.
Despite doubts in the Chelsea hierarchy over Nagelsmann’s suitability for the role due to his age, the German manager is still considered the leading contender for the vacant role ahead of candidates like Luis Enrique and Mauricio Pochettino.

PREMIER LEAGUE Potter: Chelsea must avoid knee-jerk reaction despite Nagelsmann’s availability
The Englishman may eventually lose his job at Stamford Bridge, but it should not be because the talented ex-Bayern head coach was given the heave-ho in Bavaria.
Nagelsmann was released from his Bayern Munich role during the March international break, despite being in the quarterfinals of the UEFA Champions League, winning eight out of eight matches in the 2022/23 season and being one point off the top of the Bundesliga table, while also being in the quarterfinals of the DFB Pokal.

Talks between Nagelsmann and Chelsea are believed to be progressing without problems, but no official deal has been struck between the two parties, although the expectation is that this will change soon.
