Chelsea have reportedly identified Zinedine Zidane and Frank Lampard as potential replacements for Maurizio Sarri.
Sky Sports claims on Twitter that the Blues have singled out the pair as two viable candidates to come in, should they sack their struggling manager.

Sarri has seen his future at Stamford Bridge come under scrutiny following a string of underwhelming results.
These concerns have only intensified following Manchester United’s 2-0 away win against Chelsea on Monday night, which saw the team exit the FA Cup at the fifth-round stage.
Zidane has only ever managed one club, Real Madrid, but enjoyed a lot of success at the Bernabeu Stadium, winning three consecutive Champions League trophies.
Lampard, meanwhile, is also in his first managerial job at Derby County and is enjoying a strong season in the Championship.
Sarri will be desperate to buy himself some time at the weekend when Chelsea lock horns with Manchester City in the final of the Carabao Cup at Wembley Stadium.
