According to the source, Chelsea bosses have gradually started to shorten the shortlist of coaches. The Londoners have refused the services of Luis Enrique and Ruben Amorim.

Julian Nagelsmann has made a positive impression on Chelsea directors Lawrence Stewart and Paul Winstanley, and also has the support of the club's co-owner Behdad Egbali.

At the moment, Nagelsmann has the highest chances of getting the job, but Chelsea is still open to other options, including former PSG and Tottenham coach Mauricio Pochettino.
