The Blues are in a awful spot after a well-documented disastrous campaign thus far. Their opening 16 Premier League games have yielded nine losses, a run that has left them just one point above the relegation zone in 16th position.

It is believed that Chelsea will have a manager in place by the time the Sunderland game on Saturday kicks-off, with rumours strongly suggesting that it will be Guus Hiddink.
While Hiddink will likely be appointed to see out the season, let’s take a look at six potential long-term replacements.
