According to reports, Chelsea are close to reaching an agreement with former Spurs, Southampton and PSG manager Mauricio Pochettino as the permanent replacement for Graham Potter.

The Blues shortlisted Luis Enrique, Julian Naglesmann, and a few other managers, but the Chelsea heirachy ruled out Enrique, and Naglesmann dropped out of the running to become the new Chelsea boss.
