Mark Hughes is not shocked to see his name mentioned as a candidate for the job of Chelsea manager.
Stoke City manager Mark Hughes insists speculation linking him to the Chelsea job is to be expected due to his side's impressive season.
The Potters were knocked out of the League Cup semifinals on penalties by Liverpool on Tuesday as part of a campaign that sees them sit ninth in the Premier League, just four points behind Manchester United in fifth.
Hughes is reportedly on a 'B-list' of Chelsea managerial targets to take the job at the end of the season along with Claudio Ranieri and Eddie Howe, which the Blues will turn to if they miss out on top targets Massimiliano Allegri, Pep Guardiola and Diego Simeone.
