Should Chelsea decide that it is time for a sea-change and that their next manager needs to be a win at all costs type of guy then they know just the man. Serial Champions League-winning coach Zinedine Zidane is on the market.
The Frenchman has already announced himself as an elite boss with three European titles. When it comes to the biggest characters out there, he is up with the best. This would no doubt appeal to Roman Abramovich but there is a question as to how much it would cultivate Todd Boehly's working model at Stamford Bridge.
Despite the doubts, Zidane is still amongst the names linked with the SW6 hot seat as Graham Potter endures a run of form worse than any Blues boss for 30 years. As savvy businessmen, Boehly/Clearlake Capital need an exit route for their coach and also a back-up plan.
