A report from TeamTalk states that Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester City have all been approached by intermediaries and made aware of Nagelsmann’s situation.
As it stands, all of Chelsea, Liverpool and Arsenal are yet to follow up on that interest, and as things stand, it’s expected that all three clubs plan to stand by their respective managers.
His camp insists that Nagelsmann remains fully focused on leading Germany into the upcoming World Cup finals, but he would be open to the right project beyond that, with England viewed as most likely.
Ben Jacobs has already shared why the Chelsea owners haven’t considered Nagelsmann for a position at Stamford Bridge up until this point.
“And I know that when Nagelsmann was on the Chelsea shortlist, there were two issues why he didn’t advance.
“The first was that when they asked about his kind of conduct, and I appreciate there’s two sides to every story, so this is just Chelsea’s perspective, but when they asked about his conduct and how he managed the dressing room and what the players thought of him on a personal level, on a tactical level, on a managerial level, they didn’t get great references and they thought that he might be a risk in terms of fit.
“Then the second thing about Julian Nagelsmann and this is where Chelsea’s perspective is different from those close to Nagelsmann. So Chelsea argue that Nagelsmann said, ‘I don’t want to be part of a process. I don’t want anything thorough. I don’t want to wait. I don’t want to be interviewed five times. I just want you to either offer me the job or not because my CV, my talent speaks for itself.
“So Nagelsmann was not prepared to wait and entertain a competitive thorough process at least when Chelsea came calling.”
