Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich could bring in former boss Avram Grant on a short-term basis.
Frank Lampard has come under pressure at Stamford Bridge, sitting ninth in the Premier League after winning just two of their last seven games.
Having spent £200million on new talent over the summer, reports have emerged of the club starting to form a list of replacements.
And Abramovich could make his move soon – by bringing in Lampard’s former boss Grant.
The 65-year-old took the top job at Stamford Bridge for the 2007/08 season, taking over Jose Mourinho on 20 September.
And he guided the side second in the Premier League and runners-up in the Champions League, FA Cup and League Cup.

With the Israeli preferring team management roles, though, it is expected that this would be a short-term role.
Grant has previously spoken out about his former midfielder and given the manager his backing.

“What I can say to Frank and the others at the club is be patient, and more than this do whatever is necessary to do, that’s for sure.
