Chelsea are in the market for a new manager at the moment after sacking Liam Rosenior, and a club president has now opened the door for his coach to make the move to Stamford Bridge.
Rosenior was sacked by Chelsea earlier this week after just 106 days in charge of the club.
The sacking came after the Blues lost their fifth Premier League game in a row, failing to score in all of those fixtures.
Chelsea acted quickly after their latest defeat against Brighton in the league, with such a crucial game approaching against Leeds in the FA Cup semi-final this weekend.

Speaking to City AM, Como president Mirwan Suwarso has opened the door for Cesc Fabregas to join Chelsea.
The Como chief has suggested that he wants Fabregas to stay, but he's free to join the Premier League club if he wishes.
"If that makes him happy, that’s him, “You want your employees to stay with you for as long as possible but at the end of the day we don’t own him and he’s free to go to Chelsea if he wishes.”
Fabregas, described as 'the next elite coach', has been linked with a move to Chelsea after the sacking of Rosenior.
The former Spanish midfielder has a close affinity with the west London club, having spent some of his playing career at Stamford Bridge.
