The German manager has shown his quality in the Bundesliga with RB Leipzig and Bayern Munich. He could prove to be an exciting addition to Chelsea. Chelsea need to bring in a manager who will get the best out of their players. And Nagelsmann is certainly capable of elevating Chelsea’s performances.
The Blues have signed a lot of quality players over the last couple of windows, and they need to bring in someone who will help them win trophies now. Nagelsmann could be the ideal manager to bring out the best from the pool of young talent Chelsea have at their disposal.
🚨 Understand there have been already approaches for Julian Nagelsmann to be the new Chelsea head coach. Talks will continue to make final decision — but he’s the favorite. #CFC

Players like Mykhailo Mudryk and Joao Felix have not been able to hit top form since the move to Stamford Bridge. And the 35-year-old manager could get the best out of the attacking players. The 35-year-old’s high-intensity attacking football impressed fans across the globe during his time in Germany and he could prove to be an exciting addition for Chelsea fans as well.
Meanwhile, Fabrizio Romano has suggested that the former Bayern Munich manager is the favourite to replace Potter. Chelsea have the quality to execute his style of football, and players like Mudryk, Felix, Madueke and Enzo Fernandez could all benefit from playing under the German.
Furthermore, the 35-year-old helped develop talented young players during his time at Leipzig. And he could have a significant impact on the development of Chelsea youngsters as well. The Blues are going through a bit of a rebuild right now, and Nagelsmann could be the ideal manager for them.
