Chelsea have approached Lyon head coach Sonia Bompastor to become their new manager.
Current Blues boss Emma Hayes announced she would be leaving the club at the end of the season to take up a position with the USA national team in November. Negotiations are ongoing but the French coach is the first candidate Chelsea have reached out to. Bompastor, a Champions League winner as a player and manager, is contracted to the French champions until 2025.
Analysis: Bompastor fits Chelsea's precise wish list Sky Sports' Laura Hunter: The rationale behind Chelsea making a beeline for Sonia Bompastor is twofold. The first, and should not be underestimated given Chelsea's recent history, is the fact she's a born winner. That's attractive to a team who have retained a monopoly over domestic silverware for the past five seasons.
