Mauricio Pochettino, the former Tottenham manager, is reportedly not interested in replacing Graham Potter as Chelsea manager.
Instead, he is holding out for the Real Madrid job.
Potter was unexpectedly sacked on Sunday night, and the search for his successor has begun.
Julian Nagelsmann is the early frontrunner, but Pochettino is also a favourite and well-liked by Chelsea.
However, according to TYC Sports via talkSPORT, Pochettino will snub any interest from English clubs as he hopes to be appointed at Real Madrid if and when Carlo Ancelotti departs.
Ancelotti’s future with Los Blancos looks uncertain, and Pochettino has long been linked with the Spanish giants. Other names linked with Chelsea include Luis Enrique, Oliver Glasner, and Ruben Amorim.
In the meantime, Bruno Saltor will take charge of the Blues when they host Liverpool on Tuesday night.
