Croatia coach Slaven Bilic is on Chelsea's radar.
The Daily Star says if Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich fails to land AC Milan boss Carlo Ancelotti at the end of the season, he will turn to Bilic.
The ex-West Ham player has impressed many with his coaching know-how and his charisma.
Chelsea are aware they need a manager who will command the respect of the host of stars at Stamford Bridge and Bilic appears to fit the bill.
