Chelsea will have to wait until summer if they want to appoint Julian Nagelsmann as the club’s manager.
Current boss Frank Lampard is under severe pressure after a poor run of form, but he may still have time to save his job.
According to the Telegraph, Nagelsmann would be among the club’s top targets if Lampard was sacked, but it is unlikely that he would leave RB Leipzig before the end of the season.
The German has done an excellent job with Hoffenheim and Leipzig, sparking talk that he will secure a move to one of Europe’s biggest clubs.
