London owner Roman Abramovich has identified Laurent Blanc as one of the main candidates to take over the team's helm after this season, as reported by the English press.
However, higher on the priority list than the Frenchman are Barcelona's Pep Guardiola and Real Madrid's Jose Mourinho, but reaching an agreement with them could be complicated.
Therefore, the name of Blanc, who currently coaches the French national team, is also considered. In 2009, he won the French championship with Bordeaux, and since 2010, he has been leading his country's national team.
'Les Bleus' with this specialist managed to go 18 games without losing and defeated teams like England, Brazil, and Germany in friendly matches.
Recently, Chelsea has been coached by Italian Roberto Di Matteo, who replaced the dismissed Portuguese Andre Villas Boas. However, there is doubt whether he will be offered a long-term contract.
