Julian Nagelsmann overtakes Luis Enrique as the FAVOURITE to become the next Chelsea manager... with the club's 'co-sporting directors impressed by the 35-year-old's vision after meeting for talks last week'

Julian Nagelsmann has overtaken Luis Enrique as the favourite to become the next Chelsea manager, according to reports from Germany.

Chelsea sacked Graham Potter after seven months in charge as the Blues were 11th in the Premier League table, having won just 12 of his 31 games at the helm.

Lampard - who was dismissed by Chelsea in January 2021 after a season-and-a-half in charge - has made a sensational return to Stamford Bridge as the interim manager.

He will take charge of the Blues until the end of the season.
