Chelsea's provisional shortlist of candidates to replace Frank Lampard is dominated by managers developed in the Bundesliga, with Southampton's Ralph Hasenhuttl perhaps the most eye-catching name to feature.
The Austrian would not leave Southampton in the middle of the season so is not viewed as a short-term option, but if he continues to impress on the south coast the 53-year-old would be considered if Chelsea sack Lampard in the summer.
RB Leipzig coach Julian Nagelsmann is another potential candidate admired at Stamford Bridge who is not available at present.
