Former West Ham boss Harry Redknapp wants to see Frank Lampard give Chelsea's youngsters their chance next season.
Derby boss Lampard, 40, is the favourite to replace Maurizio Sarri after the Italian left Stamford Bridge to take charge of Juventus.
"Maybe it's time for someone who is going to be bold enough to play those young players. He went to Derby, he brought young players in, Derby got to the play-off final with a few kids," Redknapp told BBC Sport.
"It could be an interesting time for Chelsea, they are going to have to play some of their kids, give them a go.
"We keep talking about how good these kids are, they're playing for England under-17s, under-19s, so get them in the first team, let's see them play.
"Chelsea have a great group of young players, it might be a good chance to throw three or four of them in. You may have something special there."
