Julian Nagelsmann withdraws from the race to become new Chelsea manager

Julian Nagelsmann will not become Chelsea manager.

Julian Nagelsmann, the highly sought-after manager, has reportedly withdrawn from the race to become the new Chelsea manager. The news was broken by renowned football journalist Fabrizio Romano on social media.

Nagelsmann, who is just 33 years old, has been widely regarded as one of the most talented young managers in world football. He has already achieved great success in his short managerial career, having led Hoffenheim to the Champions League for the first time in their history and then taking RB Leipzig to the semi-finals of the same competition.

With Chelsea currently in the market for a new manager following the departure of Graham Potter, Nagelsmann was seen as a prime target for the London club. However, it appears that the German has now ruled himself out of contention for the role. The reasons behind Nagelsmann’s decision are not yet clear, but it is believed that he may have other plans for his future.

The news of Nagelsmann’s withdrawal will come as a disappointment to Chelsea fans, who were excited about the prospect of the young coach taking charge at Stamford Bridge. However, the club is expected to continue its search for a new manager and will likely have a number of other high-profile candidates in mind.
