The agent of Julian Nagelsmann has explained why the former Bayern Munich manager rejected the chance to become Chelsea manager.

Volker Struth told Phrasenmaher: “I can confirm that Chelsea were quick to call [after Nagelsmann’s dismissal at Bayern]. It was the right decision by Nagelsmann not to go there. It’s a club in troubled waters at the moment”

“Chelsea’s transfer policy, spending a few hundred million Euros, has raised expectations that need to be met. There were also other issues. He was their number 1 choice, that was our information. I believe it would have happened if he wanted it.”
