Now tipped to coach Tottenham Hotspurs
By Ed Emeanua
Julian Nagelsmann has declined offers to become the next manager of Chelsea FC serious following serious concerns over the recruitment process in the West London club, according to the Daily Mail.
The German trainer was a major candidate to take the place of sacked Graham Potter at Chelsea before pulling out of the contention to for the Blues’ next managerial role.
Earlier reports from football.london this month indicated that the former Bayern Munich boss was in prime position to take the place of Potter and had held talks with the Blues’ representatives.
Nagelsmann has already distanced himself from the consideration for the role following having deep issues with Chelsea’s recruitment process, claims the Daily Mail.
The west London outfit have been forced to confine their consideration to only three contenders with Ange Postecoglou now replacing the German tactician, in addition to Mauricio Pochettino and Burnely manager Vincent Kompany in the final round of talks.
According to football.london, Chelsea have held productive discussions with Pochettino concerning replacing Potter. The West Londoners management are big fans of the former Tottenham Hotspur boss, 51, whose qualities and experience also enders him to the players at Stamford Bridge, who are willing to work with him.
The Daily Mail hints that Nagelsmann was convinced that the Chelsea role was his and that talks were only a routine. However, doubts started to escalate after Chelsea held series of discussions with Pochettino and Kompany over consideration for the same role.
The former Bayern boss chose to withdraw from further talks last Friday and has now taken prime position to coach the Spurs following Antonio Conte’s sacking. Nagelsmann also had ‘serious concerns’ over the Blues’ £600million recruitment drive on new signings in the last two transfer windows.
