Chelsea hold talks with Nagelsmann as Lampard’s replacement
Chelsea officials have met Julian Nagelsmann face to face for the first time, as the club progresses their search for a new manager.
While Nagelsmann is well known to many in the Chelsea hierarchy – directors Chris Vivell and Laurence Stewart worked with him at RB Leipzig – both Stewart and his co-sporting director Paul Winstanley flew to Germany at the end of last week to hold talks with the former Bayern Munich boss.
Meanwhile, Sky Sports News has been told senior members of Chelsea’s legal team have been in discussions with their counterparts at Bayern to better understand what level of compensation will be due to the German club under the terms of his departure – if Chelsea decide Nagelsmann is the man they want.

Despite a disappointing start, Chelsea currently have no plans to cut short Frank Lampard’s reign as manager for the remainder of this season.
After being beaten 2-1 by Potter’s former side Brighton in the Premier League on Saturday, Lampard said Chelsea must react as they prepare to face Real Madrid in the Champions League quarter-final second leg at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday.
