However, it now appears that Pochettino, a former PSG Manager, has got the job, 90min reports.
Pochettino has been out of work since leaving Paris Saint-Germain, at the end of last season.

Co-owners Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital, first spoke to ex-Barcelona boss, Luis Enrique and former Bayern Munich Manager, Julian Nagelsmann, over the position.
However, Chelsea backed away from Enrique, after an initial round of talks, while Nagelsmann withdrew from contention last week.
