Former Barcelona and Spain coach Luis Enrique has emerged as a frontrunner for the Chelsea job.

The Spaniard is vying for the Stamford Bridge post, along with Julian Nagelsmann and Mauricio Pochettino.

Per The Sun, Chelsea need Bayern Munich's permission to talk to Nagelsmann , as he is on gardening leave.

Another who has been linked to the job is Fulham coach Marco Silva.

Chelsea will be hoping to have an appointment in place in the coming weeks.

The Blues have a Champions League quarter final against Real Madrid coming up.
