Former Chelsea midfielder Claude Makelele is being lined up for a return to Stamford Bridge.

Makelele left his post as coach of Eupen last week.

Goal says Makelele will be given a senior role within the coaching group that looks after loan players.

Makelele revealed he had left Eupen earlier this week having guided the club to 12th in the Belgian Pro League.

He wrote on Twitter: "Of course I'm sad to leave Eupen, but I think it's the right decision for both parties."
