Kompany and Pochetino both on Chelsea’s shortlist for permanent coach

Vincent Kompany and Mauricio Pochettino, along with one other unknown name are currently the top candidates for the Chelsea’s job, according to reports.

Kompany, a former Manchester City player, has impressed in his debut season with Burnley, winning the Championship with them in a convincing fashion and subsequently promoting them to the Premier League.

Pochettino, on the other hand, doesn’t need any introduction as he has established himself as one of the prominent managerial names in modern football in the last decade. The Argentinian is without a job after leaving PSG in 2022 and is fully motivated to get back on the touchline for the next season.

Julian Nagelsman, another high-profile name, has reportedly dropped out of the competition to take over Chelsea.

The London team sacked manager Graham Potter in early April following a 2-0 defeat to Aston Villa after a string of poor results. They haven’t fared any better afterwards with the appointment of interim manager Frank Lampard, under whom they lost all four of their games so far, scoring just once in those outings.
