Chelsea are keen to speak to a number of candidates as part of their 'exhaustive' search for a successor to Graham Potter.
Julian Nagelsmann is one of the main contenders on their shortlist, though not thought to be an outright frontrunner yet, and weighing up his options amid interest from multiple clubs.
Out-of-work duo Luis Enrique and Mauricio Pochettino are among the other managers Chelsea are expected to look to discuss the vacancy with while Brighton's Roberto De Zerbi is another name in the frame.
Nagelsmann's other admirers include Tottenham, who fear they are not his first choice, and Real Madrid.
