Revealed: Chelsea's three back-up options if Pochettino talks collapse

Chelsea are pretty confident of securing a deal to make Mauricio Pochettino their next manager, claims The Guardian.

However, they do have a few backup plans in place just in case negotiations suddenly collapse – which happened with Julian Nagelsmann.

The Blues have Burnley manager Vincent Kompany, Celtic gaffer Ange Postecoglou and Feyenoord boss Arne Slot as the alternatives to Poch.

Chelsea are ready to hand significant funds to their next manager in the summer and that is expected to be Pochettino.

The Argentine boss has been out of work since being sacked by PSG last year and would return to the Premier League after a memorable stint with Tottenham Hotspur.
