Julian Nagelsmann’s Girlfriend Drops Major Hint That He Could Be Next Chelsea Boss

• Julian Nagelsmann remains the frontrunner to become Chelsea's next boss
• The Blues are believed to have approached a number of people for the post
• Nagelsmann's girlfriend has fans believing he will move to Stamford Bridge

The search for Chelsea's next manager could be over if the latest hint from Julian Nagelsmann's partner is anything to go by.

Nagelsmann has been the perceived frontrunner for the Stamford Bridge job after the sacking of Graham Potter two weeks ago.

The club's board brought in Chelsea legend, Frank Lampard on an interim basis as they undertook an exhaustive process to find a permanent replacement.

Multiple outlets had reported that Nagelsmann and former Spain national team manager, Luis Enrique had impressed in the preliminary rounds of talks.

However, as the Telegraph's Matt Law reported, Enrique will no longer be a candidate for the West London job, with transfer specialist, Fabrizio Romano adding that former Paris Saint-Germain manager, Mauricio Pochettino was a late entrant in the race.

Naglesmann's girlfriend fuels speculation

As the Sun reports, speculation is growing that Chelsea's co-directors, Paul Winstanley and Laurence Stewart will settle on Nagelsmann as the new boss.

The former Bayern Munich boss's girlfriend, Lena Wurzenberger is yet to start in her new role. She was supposed to start working for BMW on April 1 but is yet to report to work, fuelling rumours she is keen on moving to London should her boyfriend get the Stamford Bridge job.

She is said to have gotten the job with the vehicle manufacturer while Nagelsmann was still at Bayern Munich, but he was sacked only a few days later.

The 35-year-old will have a lot on his plate should he get the job in the summer. Chelsea are poised to finish outside European places after a catastrophic season that saw the arrival of many new players with nothing to show for it.

How Chelsea can bounce back

Sports Brief earlier reported that a brace from Rodrygo on April 18 confirmed Chelsea would exit the UEFA Champions League.

The Blues might have put in a better performance than last week but there was nothing they could do as Real Madrid advanced.

Chelsea are now out of European football until at least 2025 and after a period of turmoil, the club now needs to put its house in order.
