Chelsea are in advanced talks to make former Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino their new manager.
The Argentine, whose most recent job was at Paris St-Germain, is keen on the role but more negotiations will take place before any deal is finalised.
Chelsea want a quick resolution and believe they are at the end of the process as they search for a permanent replacement for Graham Potter.
Pochettino, 51, would take over from interim manager Frank Lampard.
The former England midfielder took charge of the Blues after they sacked Potter at the start of April, but has lost all four of his games in charge.
