Todd Boehly was in danger of reopening a long-standing feud between Hakim Ziyech and Vahid Halilhodzic if he had followed through with plans to meet the manager over the vacant Chelsea job.
Boehly acted quickly to sack Thomas Tuchel just a month into the new season after three defeats in seven league and European matches. According to reports in France, Halilhodzic - like Tuchel, a former Paris Saint-Germain manager - was among those in the mix before the Blues opted for Graham Potter.
Had Chelsea opted for the Bosnian, though, it's unlikely Ziyech would have been happy. The Moroccan winger quit international football following a feud with the 69-year-old which kept him out of January's Africa Cup of Nations.
