Chelsea make first contact with Julian Nagelsmann: It has been over two weeks since Chelsea sacked their former manager, Graham Potter. It was earlier said that they would hire a new permanent manager immediately, but the board members later decided to not rush the decision, and thus they appointed one of their legends and former boss Frank Lampard as the interim manager till the end of the season.?



Graham Potter had joined Chelsea on September 8, 2022, from Brighton and Hove Albion after the sudden sacking of Thomas Tuchel. Being an able coach with prior experience in the Premier League, Potter was expected to do well with the brilliant Chelsea squad. Unfortunately, he did not live up to the expectations, and the Blues did horribly this season in all tournaments despite making a number of great signings. Thus, his sacking was imminent.&nbsp;



After Potter was sacked, Julian Nagelsmann, who was sacked suddenly by Bayern Munich about two weeks before Chelsea let go of Potter, emerged as one of the top contenders to replace him. Nagelsmann did brilliantly with Bayern Munich and with RB Leipzig before that, and he is highly regarded as one of the best managers in the world currently. Thus, he could be the perfect man for the Chelsea gig.&nbsp;

According to The Times, Chelsea?s co-sporting directors, Paul Winstanley and <a href="https://talksport.com/football/1228452/who-is-laurence-stewart-chelsea-technical-director-monaco-pep-guardiola-christopher-nkunku/">Laurence Stewart</a>, met Julian Nagelsmann on Thursday to discuss their project and plans.?



However, Julian Nagelsmann is not the only manager that is on Chelsea?s shortlist. The board members have already talked with former FC Barcelona and Spain manager Luis Enrique before appointing Lampard as their interim coach. Moreover, it is being said that former Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino, Napoli's Luciano Spalletti, and Sporting CP boss Ruben Amorim are also on Chelsea?s radar.&nbsp;



Luis Enrique is said to be Chelsea?s second choice. He is also a great manager and he has the experience of transforming young teams completely - which is something that Chelsea are in dire need of right now. However, he has a habit of wanting complete freedom over teams and the Chelsea board will definitely have a problem with that.&nbsp;



That is exactly why Julian Nagelsmann will be the best fit for the job right now. It is being expected that he might soon be appointed by the English team. Moreover, the hunger to prove himself makes Nagelsmann a very dangerous man in the world of football right now and any team would love this fire.?

Chelsea meet Julian Nagelsmann for the first time amid search for new manager

A day off for one of the best strikers, Haaland will be looking to forget this draw against <a href="https://www.chelseafc.com/en">Chelsea</a> on Saturday. A late halftime strike from Sterling gave Chelsea the lead but City came with an equaliser from Rodri in the 83rd minute.?



City fell behind Arsenal and Liverpool in the title race after their draw with Chelsea, as both of their competitors secured victories earlier in the day.



Haaland, known for his efficiency in front of goal, surprisingly missed three clear chances in the thrilling 1-1 draw. This occurred after Arsenal and Liverpool, City's competitors for the title, had won their matches earlier on Saturday. The leading scorer in the Premier League had nine attempts on goal but failed to find the back of the net, marking his highest number of shots in a single game without scoring in all of his 79 appearances for Manchester City.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">"Haaland not to be blamed,? says coach Pep Guardiola </h2>



As per a report from <a href="https://www.espn.in/football/story/_/id/39546652/guardiola-wont-blame-erling-haaland-manchester-city-draw-chelsea">ESPN</a>, "It's good to have nine shots, and next time he's going to score," said Guardiola. "I was a football player for 11 years and scored 11 goals. I'm not a proper man to give advice to strikers. We create the chances, he had the chances, and next time he's going to score. I don't blame him. It's football, it's human beings."



Haaland scored a total of 16 goals this season but the Norwegian seems to be off the line this weekend. The frustration can be seen as a cameraman intruded too closely on the exasperated Norwegian international in the moments following the match and fierce Haaland pushed the camera out of his face.&nbsp;



Haaland had a forgettable afternoon individually, failing to capitalize on several prime chances. Despite his remarkable goal-scoring record of 52 goals in 53 matches last season, the Norwegian striker missed the mark entirely on multiple occasions when he had opportunities to challenge Djorde Petrovic, the goalkeeper for the visiting team. Seven of Haaland's efforts were made by his head, including the one where he directed Julian Alvarez?s cross over the crossbar in the early stages of the match.
