Chelsea have reportedly met with former Paris Saint-Germain coach Laurent Blanc amid rumours it's unlikely the Blues will make a move for sacked Napoli manager Maurizio Sarri.
It looks probable that incumbent Chelsea chief Antonio Conte will depart this summer, and France Football reported the club's director, Marina Granovskaia, has had contact with Blanc (h/f Football Italia).
Blanc hasn't held a managerial position since the summer of 2016 when he left PSG, where he won three successive Ligue 1 titles before departing the Parc des Princes by mutual consent.
