Former Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane remains interested in the Chelsea job - despite their transfer ban.
Chelsea are set to appeal the devastating punishment and could now be allowed to make moves this summer before their two-window suspension kicks in.
With that in mind, sources claim Zidane will still take the top job at Stamford Bridge with Maurizio Sarri hanging by a thread.
The former Real Madrid boss, 46, has been out of management since leaving the Bernabeu at the end of last season.
But he is more than happy to arrive in West London and splash an obscene amount of money knowing that's the squad he will be stuck with for around 18 months, says The Sun.
Should Chelsea get their way, they will make a host of signings this summer - with Mauro Icardi tipped to join - and then be banned from further investment until January 2021.
