The agent of manager Julian Nagelsmann has claimed the former Bayern Munich boss was right to reject Chelsea's advances.
Nagelsmann quickly emerged as a leading candidate following Chelsea's decision to part ways with Graham Potter, and it seemed as though the German would be heading to Stamford Bridge before his surprising decision to pull out of negotiations.
Chelsea turned their focus to Mauricio Pochettino and have now reached a full agreement with the Argentine, who is due to sign his contract with the Blues imminently.
