The sacking of Mauricio Pochettino has left a vacancy in the Chelsea dugout and there are many candidates in the running to fill it. Former London club man Eden Hazard has added another name to the list.
The Belgian played in the Kings League World Cup with his team Deptostra. During the event he gave a few minutes to 'talkSPORT' and was asked about the future of the Blues bench.
"I have a friend in Como who could be their coach...", he replied in reference to his former London team-mate Cesc Fabregas. The Spaniard has shown this season that he is ready for a bigger challenge after winning promotion to Serie A with Como. Although the Catalan has already announced that he intends to stay in Italy for another season.
On the other hand, Hazard was suggested the name of Roberto de Zerbi, who has already confirmed that he is leaving Brighton, and said that "it could be". It is not the first time the Italian has been linked with a move to Stamford Bridge.
Lastly, the Belgian had some kind words for Pochettino: "I was a bit sad to be honest, I think he did a great job. I know people want the club in the top four, but it's a transitional season. He's a great coach and I wish him the best of luck.
