According to a report on GiveMeSport, Chelsea owner Todd Boehly sees former Bayern Munich manager Julian Nagelsmann as an improved version of former Chelsea boss Graham Potter.

Nagelsmann and former Barcelona manager Luis Enrique are the favourites to be named Chelsea boss and it is believed Boehly favours Nagelsmann because he sees him as an improved version of Potter.

The report adds: “Sources have explained how Nagelsmann is seen as an improved version of Graham Potter and that Chelsea believe his style of coaching could mean that groundwork already put in over past months is less likely to be abandoned under his leadership.

“They have put in work too to understand exactly why his Bayern Munich reign did not work out and learnings at this moment suggest they do not feel the reasons would impact on them if he took charge of Chelsea.

“Managing so many personalities and egos is a potential problem in this situation and as part of the process Laurence Stewart and Paul Winstanley have been undertaking key conversations around recruiting a manager that can handle this.

“Enrique is certainly still in the picture but it is also thought that former RB Leipzig employee Christopher Vivell is still driving a case for Nagelsmann as the man to turn around the club’s fortunes. That support from inside gives Nagelsmann a slight edge that Enrique does not have.”
