During Lampard's interim tenure, Chelsea continued to negotiate with two candidates, Julian Nagelsmann and Luis Enrique. According to the Daily Mail, on April 5, Luis Enrique was in London to negotiate with Chelsea. Here, the Spanish coach is said to present details of the plan to build a ball-controlling style of play and prioritize the use of young players.

Chelsea's sporting director, Christopher Vivell, highly values ​​​​coach Enrique's experience and achievements. The Spanish captain's most memorable milestone was the 2014/15 season, when he helped Barcelona win a historic treble of La Liga, Copa del Rey and Champions League titles.

Enrique became head coach of the Spanish national team in 2018 and resigned after only leading "La Roja" to the round of 16 at the 2022 World Cup . If he joins Chelsea, the 52-year-old strategist will have his first time working in the Premier League.
