Julian Nagelsmann is no longer in the running to become Chelsea boss after withdrawing from the race to replace Graham Potter, according to reports.
Nagelsmann was believed to be among four leading contenders to take the reins at Stamford Bridge next season as the Blues search for their next permanent head coach.
But according to Fabrizio Romano, the former Bayern Munich manager has pulled the plug on discussions after 'multiple rounds of talks'.
It is believed his decision is 'final', meaning Chelsea co-owners Todd Boehly and Behdad Eghbali will be forced to remove his name from their managerial shortlist.
Along with Nagelsmann, Boehly and Eghbali have identified former Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino, promotion-winning Burnley boss Vincent Kompany and one other mystery candidate as potential options.

It's clear Chelsea owners are looking for a puppet like manager who just obeys the board no matter what. They won't find it in luis Enrique and naglesmann both will have their own way of leading the Project.
