Vincent Kompany has been linked with the open Chelsea managerial position, as the southwest London club looks to replace Mauricio Pochettino. However, it looks like it might be time to scratch Kompany from the list of potential candidates.
According to transfer guru Fabrizio Romano, Kompany has not received an overture from Stamford Bridge yet.

And on top of that, he’s actually more of a candidate for the Bayern Munich job, who are certainly struggling majorly to figure out their managerial situation.
So who is in frame for the Chelsea job?
It’s hard to say right now, but it is easy to understand why Roberto de Zerbi and Thomas Tuchel have been considered leading contenders.
Ruben Amorim is a name gaining traction as well.
Paul M. Banks is the Founding Editor of The Sports Bank. He’s also the author of “Transatlantic Passage: How the English Premier League Redefined Soccer in America,” and “No, I Can’t Get You Free Tickets: Lessons Learned From a Life in the Sports Media Industry.”
