Gianfranco Zola is in talks with Chelsea about an emotional return.
Following Carlo Ancelotti's dismissal yesterday, Blues owner Roman Abramovich is now seeking a replacement for the Italian.
The Sun says Zola has been contacted and looks poised to make a dramatic return to join the backroom staff.
But Steve Clarke has already snubbed a return to the Bridge.
He opted to sign a three-year deal to work alongside Kenny Dalglish at Liverpool despite being offered more cash to go to Chelsea.
