Liam Rosenior is in advanced talks to become head coach at Chelsea sister club Strasbourg.
The French side, who are a part of the BlueCo ownership group, are without a coach after Patrick Vieira stepped down from the role after just one season in charge.
And now they have turned their attention to Rosenior who has been without a job following his departure from Hull City in May.
Despite a seventh-placed finish in the Championship with the Yorkshire side, the 39-year-old was sacked by the Tigers three days after the end of the campaign.
