Julian Nagelsmann, a former Bayern Munich coach, has declined the opportunity to become the next Chelsea manager.
According to Sky Sports reporter Melissa Reddy, Nagelsmann rejected the role due to fundamental structural, recruitment, and process decisions at Chelsea that would not align with his management style.
The club’s position is that Nagelsmann was not the favorite for the job, and there were mixed feelings about him.
The next manager of Chelsea is likely to be former Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino, who had further talks with the club this week.
The Independent reported that Todd Boehly was impressed by Pochettino’s vision for the club, making him a strong candidate for the job.
With three managers failing in the role this season, Chelsea is currently in a state of disarray under new ownership.
Nagelsmann’s decision to reject the job suggests that the club’s flaws in management and structure are apparent to potential candidates.
