The coach Julian Nagelsmann, who was recently on leave from FC Bayern, should already be able to imagine a coaching job at FC Chelsea, contrary to what he initially thought. That reported sky on Tuesday. According to information from the pay-TV broadcaster, those responsible for Chelsea are currently holding talks with Nagelsmann and other coach candidates. The Premiere League club had recently parted ways with Graham Potter, and Nagelsmann was relieved of his duties at Bayern on March 24.

The extent to which those responsible in Munich would demand a transfer fee for Nagelsmann, for whom they had paid the coaching world record sum of up to 25 million euros in 2021, was left open by CEO Oliver Kahn at the “Sky90” talk. The trainer had been given a long-term contract until June 2026. Kahn said: “I can hardly imagine that he will become a trainer somewhere during the season. He will certainly need some time to let things settle and reflect.” Nagelsmann’s successor in Munich is Thomas Tuchel, who in turn was replaced by Potter at Chelsea last September.
Nagelsmann is said to be the top candidate for the post at the London club, which has reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League and has to play against Real Madrid there. This is also reported by transfer experts Fabrizio Romano. But former PSG coach Mauricio Pochettino, Spain’s former national coach Luis Enrique, France’s former world champion Zinédine Zidane and Eintracht Frankfurt’s Oliver Glasner are also traded as possible Potter successors.
