Chelsea are reportedly weighing up their options when it comes to potentially replacing current manager Mauricio Pochettino.
It has been reported recently that there is a divide among the board over what is the best course of action to take.
It has even been claimed that there are some who would go down the route of offering the boss a new contract, however this has not stopped some looking elsewhere in the managerial market.
A number of candidates have been linked with the job, although Chelsea will be more than aware that a fair few huge jobs are going to become available when this campaign comes to an end.
Barcelona, Liverpool and Bayern Munich are all set to be looking for a new manager at the end of the campaign.
The latter are reportedly in talks to hire Xabi Alonso from fellow German side Bayer Leverkusen, which would be a big blow to Behdad Eghbali.
The co-owner has been reported to be a massive admirer of the Spaniard, although looks as if he may miss out on his man.

Another reported target has been Roberto De Zerbi, after the great work he has done in recent months.
Some supporters who have a particular affection to one of their younger players could be really excited by this potential hiring.
De Zerbi tipped Mudryk for Ballon d’Or
The Italian has previously claimed that Mykhailo Mudryk has the capabilities and potential to win the Ballon d’Or after previously coaching him back in Ukraine.
He told Football Daily: “Mudryk can win the Ballon d’Or in the future. Really. Very important as well, but I know the value of Mudryk. He has the potential to win the Ballon d’Or.”
Mudryk has found it difficult to nail down regular starts since moving to the club over a year ago, and this has occured recently even when he has seemed to play well.
He recently arguably put in a player of the match display against Leeds in the FA Cup, however this saw him back on the bench for the draw against Brentford.
