Former PSG coach Laurent Blanc has emerged as a candidate for the Chelsea job.

With the future of Blues manager Antonio Conte clouded, Frenchman Blanc has popped up on Roman Abramovich's radar.

Chelsea owner Abramovich and director Marina Granovskaia have discussed Blanc as a successor for Conte and sought more information about the ex-PSG trainer.

Blanc hasn't worked since being sacked by PSG, though is willing to return to management.

A move to LaLiga has been mooted for the former Barcelona defender, though should Chelsea firm up their interest Blanc would be eager to speak with Abramovich about the job.
