Mauricio Pochettino would be a strong fit at Chelsea. Club sources have always maintained throughout the process to date no singular favourite has been determined, but with only three primary candidates left it's clear Pochettino has impressed in talks.🔵 
Chelsea are hoping to complete the hiring process relatively fast now. There's no specific deadline, but there's a feeling significant headway can be made before the month is out. A recommendation will be put to Todd Boehly and Behdad Eghbali.
Pochettino was also considered prior to Graham Potter's arrival. He wasn't entirely sold due to starting post-window and in-season, and having only recently left PSG.
There was a feeling Chelsea's structure needed to develop. Now there's a recruitment team and he can start pre-season, which has led to positive talks to date.
Again, #CFC are being thorough. They haven't promised any one name a managerial coronation, which irked Nagelsmann, who was reluctant to go through the exhaustive process. Chelsea did their due diligence with mixed feedback on him.
Pochettino has Premier League experience, a track record of improving talent, and learnings from PSG (complex structure, big stars and quite a bit of politics) could prove useful. PSG insiders still speak very highly of him as a coach and person.
Burnley boss Vincent Kompany and a yet-to-be revealed third candidate are the other names on the shortlist. Chelsea have managed to keep the name quiet. They are liked and respected.
