Chelsea are on the hunt for a new manager and it looks like we might soon be seeing a conclusion to the search.
It’s been narrowed down now to just a few candidates, with former Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino being touted as the favourite.
Julian Nagelsmann was always the one being called the favourite up until this weekend when he pulled out of the race. But now all roads look like they could end up leading to Pochettino becoming the next Chelsea manager.
Everyone has their opinions on this and former Chelsea captain Frank Leboeuf has had his say writing in his exclusive and extensive Chelsea column for Si & Dan Talk Chelsea this week.

Leboeuf says that he loves Pochettino as a manager and appreciated the work that he did at Tottenham. He also doesn’t think the fact that Pochettino was formerly at Spurs should matter at all.
He said: “I love both Julian Nagelsmann and Mauricio Pochettino. Pochettino did a very good job at Tottenham, and Nagelsmann did a very good job at Leipzig.
“Are these coaches ready to handle the big pressure at a big club and from the fans? That’s my concern.
“I would rather go with Pochettino because there was real pressure from the fans at Tottenham.
“I don’t have a problem with the fact that Pochettino used to manage Tottenham. Jose Mourinho went to Spurs, so did Antonio Conte, so why is it an issue the other way around? I don’t have any problem with that.”
