Chelsea Football Club is reportedly nearing a final decision on who will be appointed as their next permanent manager.
It is believed that former Paris Saint-Germain head coach, Mauricio Pochettino, is the frontrunner for the highly coveted position.
POLITICS NIGERIA reports that according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, discussions between Chelsea and Pochettino are set to enter a crucial phase this week, as the club is eager to secure a new leader to succeed caretaker manager Frank Lampard at the end of the season.
