Former Tottenham Hotspur and PSG manager Mauricio Pochettino is interested in speaking to the Blues about being the club’s next manager, according to TalkSPORT.

Pochettino was contacted by Chelsea after the Blues sacked Thomas Tuchel in September but Chelsea owner Todd Boehly opted to appoint Graham Potter as manager instead.

A report on talkSPORT reads: “Mauricio Pochettino is interested in speaking to the Blues but as yet no formal contact has been made.”

Chelsea plan to interview as many as SEVEN candidates before deciding on a successor for Graham Potter.
