Report: 'Outstanding' manager is now more likely than Luis Enrique to get the Chelsea job

Julian Nagelsmann is reportedly more likely than Luis Enrique to become Chelsea’s next permanent manager.

According to Sky Sports in Germany, Julian Nagelsmann held positive discussions last week with members of the Chelsea hierarchy.

It is understood that Blues sporting directors, Paul Winstanley and Laurence Stewart, both spoke with Nagelsmann last Thursday in London.

The report claims that the 35-year-old manager is viewed internally as more likely than Luis Enrique to become Chelsea’s next permanent boss.

Apparently, the Blues last spoke with Enrique, 52, at the beginning of April.

Chelsea’s search for their next permanent manager continues to go on behind the scenes.

After last night’s Champions League exit at the hands of Real Madrid, most Chelsea fans are now already looking towards next season.

Frank Lampard will try to life the Blues team, who have lost all four games since he took charge as the caretaker manager.

All eyes will be on who’s in the managerial dugout next season at Stamford Bridge, though?

Julian Nagelsmann more likely than Luis Enrique

Nagelsmann, who was sacked by Bayern Munich last month, does still have the kind of CV that should excite Chelsea fans.

The German coach is a title-winner and has a lot of experience at such a young age.

Bayern midfielder Joshua Kimmich described Nagelsmann as “outstanding” recently, which is a reflection of his coaching ability.
