According to talkSPORT, Chelsea are now ‘closing in’ on appointing Mauricio Pochettino as their next head coach.
Julian Nagelsmann’s decision to rule himself out of contention for the Chelsea job seemingly came as bittersweet news to Tottenham fans.
While it meant that the German was said to be now concentrating on talks over the vacancy at Spurs (SportBild), it also led to Pochettino emerging as the frontrunner for the Stamford Bridge hot seat (The Telegraph).
The Argentine remains an extremely popular figure among large swaths of the Tottenham fan base on the back of his five-and-a-half-year spell at the club but it was suggested by The Daily Mail on Saturday that his past with Spurs had not put him off from considering the Chelsea job.
The publication explained that the 51-year-old does not see Tottenham’s rivalry with Chelsea as being as intense as the one with Arsenal, and is open to taking over at the West London club.
If talkSPORT’s latest update is to be believed, Pochettino’s talks with the Blues hierarchy are now ‘advancing’.
The publication states that while the move is not yet a done deal since other candidates remain in the frame, Chelsea are now ‘closing in’ on the former Tottenham manager.

Daniel Levy is taking a huge gamble by not reaching out to Pochettino as there is no guarantee that Julian Nagelsmann would be willing to take the Tottenham job. If Nagelsmann proves out of our reach and if Poch is allowed to take over at Chelsea, the Spurs fan base’s anger at the ownership would reach boiling point.
