Chelsea has drawn up a four-man shortlist to replace under-fire Frank Lampard following the 3-1 defeat to Manchester City on Sunday in the Premier League.

Chelsea is on a record of bad runs, having won one match in their last six Premier League games and the defeat against Pep Guardiola’s men further pile up pressure for the club coach Lampard.

According to report in the Independent, Thomas Tuchel, Max Allegri, Brendan Rodgers and Ralph Hasenhuttl are the names being considered if Lampard is shown the exit door out of Stamford Bridge.

Tuchel was sacked by Paris Saint-Germain and he is in line with the Stamford Bridge job, while former Juventus manager Allegri is another coach who keen to return to management, he has been out of a job since the end of the 2018-19 campaign with the Bianconneri.

Rodgers would be a good choice having been spectacular with Leicester City and having worked with Chelsea youth team set up.

Lampard is currently on the hot seat and he could be fired if he fails to get any result other than a win against Morecambe in the FA Cup on Sunday.
