Chelsea managed to snatch a late 1-1 draw thanks to a 94th minute goal from Enzo Fernandez, but they were in the game throughout.
According to Sky Sports, the Under-21s manager will be at the helm for the game against Fulham too.
Strasbourg manager Liam Rosenior flew into London for talks on Sunday, but due to the nature of Chelsea’s relationship with the French club, won’t be announced until a replacement has been found.
The report adds that there are currently three candidates Strasbourg are talking too, with ex-Wolves boss Gary O’Neil said to be one of them.
