Rumour Has It: Shevchenko lined up if Chelsea move on from Lampard
Chelsea reportedly have a shortlist ready if they opt to replace Frank Lampard, with Andriy Shevchenko said to be in the frame.
Andriy Shevchenko is in the conversation to take over as Chelsea manager if the Blues decide to part ways with manager Frank Lampard.
With Chelsea languishing in ninth place in the Premier League table, Le10sport reports the Ukrainian's name is on the Blues list of possible replacements.
Shevchenko played for the club between 2006 and 2008 and has since forged a managerial career with the Ukraine national team, moving through the under-19 and under-21 teams to the senior dugout.

Chelsea is studying their options to replace Lampard and his former Blues team-mate Shevchenko is part of the shortlist, reports Le10sports.
The 44-year-old led Ukraine through an undefeated Euro 2020 qualifying campaign to reach the finals, drawing 0-0 in Portugal and beating the European champions 2-1, in Kyiv.
Shevchenko remains close to the club as his 14-year-old son, Kristian, plays in the Blues academy and is well-liked by club owner Roman Abramovich, say Le10sports sources.
