It’s almost certain that whoever becomes the next manager at Stamford Bridge will become a very rich man in the process. Money is clearly no object where Chelsea are concerned and it’s probable that the new gaffer will get a lucrative three-year contract and a fat bonus, providing the team manages to win something. There are plenty of big names in the queue for this particular gravy train, with Didier Deschamps claiming he’s in the running for the hotseat.
The BBC report that the Frenchman, who played a season for Chelsea a few years ago, considers himself to be on the three or four-man shortlist drafted up by Buck, Kenyon and Abramovich. The former Monaco manager knows what it takes to guide a team to a Champions League final, albeit one that gets hammered in the final. Will the former Blues water-carrier be the chosen one?
He told Monaco-based radio station RMC: “Three or four managers are on the list and I am one of them. It would be hard to refuse Chelsea.
He added: “I want to return to coaching. I needed to rest, but I feel capable of achieving good things now.
“Breaking back into management is complicated because there are not always the opportunities, but the Chelsea position is now free. I am flattered to be considered a possible candidate for the role.
“They sacked their manager not because of the results they achieved, but because of their wish to play a more attacking, attractive style of football in the next few years.”
Despite Deschamps bigging himself up, the bookmakers still make Frank Rijkaard favourite to be the next Chelsea manager, despite the Dutchman insisting he was going to take a break from football (perhaps he just meant a few weeks playing golf). Just who is going to be the next coach and how long will they lost moreover?!

Didier Deschamps has come out of the bag and has accepted that he would have cherished working as the manager of Newcastle United. Last week, former England boss Kevin Keegan was appointed as the manager of the Geordies but as Newcastle United Mad quotes him, Deschamps admits that he would have loved the adventure.
The former AS Monaco manager says:
I was interested and would have studied that option, but I did not have live contacts with the club. They are not a top-four club but have a big history and a billionaire as boss. It would have been interesting, but as soon as they contacted Kevin Keegan I knew it was over. I am not rushed by anything, I will manage again in the future, it is a question of opportunities and of a club’s plans.
And opportunities will throw themselves at your feel, Monsieur Deschamps. He guided modest Monaco to the final of the UEFA Champions League in 2004 and led Juventus back into the Italian Serie A last season. Surely another managerial job for the French great is just round the bend. Any Premiership club ready to oblige?
