After the separation from Graham Potter, Chelsea are looking for a long-term successor for Frank Lampard, who is currently acting as interim coach. Julian Nagelsmann is also traded. And the chances of the coach who was recently dismissed from FC Bayern are obviously not bad.
Julian Nagelsmann has been out of a job for almost four weeks after being fired from Bayern Munich at the end of March. At the moment, however, it doesn’t look as if the 35-year-old’s unemployment will last long. Because Nagelsmann was recently traded at numerous top English clubs, especially at Chelsea.
According to media reports, he even went there last week to present his plans and ideas if the blues bosses decide in his favor. Apparently the two Chelsea sporting directors, Paul Winstanley and Laurence Stewart, liked what they saw from Nagelsmann.
Because as “Sky” reports, the German has probably pushed past one of his opponents for the job. According to this, the former Spain coach Luis Enrique was in London a few days before Nagelsmann to hold talks and present his concept, but according to the TV station Nagelsmann has overtaken the former Barca coach with his presentation and is now ahead of Luis Enrique in the ranking .
However, the coach question is not yet answered. Because in addition to the duo just mentioned, there are other candidates for the positions open from summer. Rúben Amorim (Sporting), Vincent Kompany (FC Burnley) and Abel Ferreira (Palmeiras) are also likely to be traded.
Should Nagelsmann be awarded the contract, he would meet two old acquaintances with the Blues. At the end of the previous year, Christopher Vivell joined Chelsea as technical director. The 36-year-old was previously a squad planner at RB Leipzig and had worked there with Nagelsmann from 2020 to 2021. The above-mentioned sports director Stewart headed the scouting department of the Saxons from 2018 to 2020.
Most recently, Nagelsmann was also linked to Tottenham Hotspur and Real Madrid. The ex-Bayern coach has not yet commented on his future.
