Chelsea have begun the process of conducting formal interviews with the candidates in line to succeed Mauricio Pochettino.
Stamford Bridge directors have reduced their managerial shortlist, with Ipswich’s Kieran McKenna, Leicester’s Enzo Maresca and Brentford’s Thomas Frank still in the frame.
There’s understood to be another name on the club’s list of favoured candidates.
Chelsea have held a long-term interest in Sporting head coach Ruben Amorim but the cost of landing the Portuguese, who has a £12.8million release clause is hefty, particularly given the club are towing a fine line with regards to complying with profit and sustainability laws.
Intriguingly, Ipswich are already said to be considering replacements for McKenna in anticipation that he leaves this summer with Rob Edwards among the names on their radar as Luton face a fight to keep their highly-rated head coach.
