According to the source, the parties held a decisive round of talks on Monday, which made it clear that Pochettino is the main candidate for the role of Chelsea head coach. The Argentine is negotiating with the club on his own, without agents.

Frank Lampard, who is the interim head coach of the Londoners, will finish the current season, after which Chelsea will be led by Pochettino, who has been out of work since his dismissal from PSG last summer. Under Lampard, who joined the club in early April, Chelsea lost five matches in a row.
