GIANFRANCO ZOLA will be a replacement for Rafael Benitez ...

Gianfranco Zola has emerged as a serious contender to become Chelsea's next full-time boss - and help change the Stamford Bridge mood.

Although the Blues hierarchy already feared that Pep Guardiola was slipping from their grasp, Wednesday's confirmation that the Catalan has opted to join Bayern Munich was still a blow to Roman Abramovich.

Former Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho, Borussia Dortmund's Jurgen Klopp, Michael Laudrup of Swansea and Diego Simeone, whose Atletico Madrid side humiliated the West Londoners in August's UEFA SuperCup, have all been linked with the post.

Frank Rijkaard is also available, after being sacked this week by Saudi Arabia.

But with Blues fans starting to vote with their feet and pockets as well as showing their displeasure at interim manager Rafa Benitez, Zola will be a live option to take over in the summer when the board sit down next month to start planning the club's future.

The Watford boss has never hidden the strength of his love for Chelsea, where an astonishing six-year spell as a player saw him voted as the club's all-time leading player by supporters.

"One of my dreams is a day when I can become the manager of Chelsea," Zola admitted earlier this season. "Chelsea is in my heart. I hope one day I will get the chance to be manager there."

The 46-year-old, who had previously conceded he would be "crazy to say no" if he was ever offered the Stamford Bridge job, added: "Let's put it this way, one day I would like to be good enough to manage Chelsea. It is in my heart.

"Mr Abramovich has been very good to me and asked me a couple of times to go back to Chelsea to work but what's the point of going there and not having anything to do for the club.

"The way I see it is that I want to go there when I know I can give something back to the club."

will jose mourinho make a comeback to his former club ???

Jose Mourinho has become football's most wanted man, after old foe Pep Guardiola left Manchester City and Chelsea in the lurch.

Bayern Munich announced on Wednesday that former Barcelona boss Guardiola will start work as their coach in July, replacing the retiring Jupp Heynckes, after agreeing a three-year contract.

The decision by the 41-year-old Catalan to restart his career in Germany rather than England ensures the Special One will now be the prime target of every major club in Europe.

Mourinho's Real Madrid reign is coming to an end, with the Portuguese falling out with the Bernabeu hierarchy, key players including Iker Casillas and Sergio Ramos and the Spanish media.

The former Chelsea boss has not hidden his interest in returning to the Premier League and rekindling his "love affair" with English football.

And Guardiola's shock exit from the equation means he is likely to be courted by the cream of Europe.

It is understood that Chelsea had begun to suspect their quest for Guardiola was doomed, although the expectation among some members of the Stamford Bridge board was that the Catalan was heading for Eastlands not Bavaria.

The majority of Chelsea fans are still yearning for the return of Mourinho, the club's most successful manager, and the possibility - after the Blues were held 2-2 at home by relegation candidates Southampton on Wednesday, making it three home games in a row without a win - is now more unlikely than unthinkable.

Mourinho's combative but winning style appears to make him the right fit for City, should Roberto Mancini's reign comes to an end in the summer.

The Portuguese has also spoken publicly of his interest in the Manchester United job, should Sir Alex Ferguson decide to quit, while Qatari-owned Paris Saint-Germain have not hidden their interest in trying to acquire his services along with those of Cristiano Ronaldo.

Guardiola's decision strengthens the hand of interim boss Rafa Benitez, despite the animosity of the Blues' fans towards the former Liverpool chief.

Borussia Dortmund's Jurgen Klopp, Germany boss Joachim Loew and Antonio Conte of Juventus are potential contenders, as well as former Barca boss Frank Rijkaard, sacked by Saudi Arabia on Wednesday, and, possibly, Swansea's Michael Laudrup.

Mourinho, though, can expect to field a flood of inquiries over the coming months, aware that Guardiola's choice leaves him No 1 on just about every club's managerial hit-list.

Guardiola will explain his reasons for choosing Munich on Friday but Bayern chief executive Karl-Heinz Rummenigge said: "We are delighted that we have managed to get Pep Guardiola whom several big clubs wanted and contacted.

"He is one of the most successful trainers in the world and we are sure that not only Bayern Munich but the whole of German football will benefit from what he brings."

Bayern chairman Uli Hoeness added: "Only someone of the calibre of Pep Guardiola was an adequate replacement for Jupp Heynckes."

chelsea transer news...(rumours)

CHELSEA is reportedly looking to buy Luka Modric from Real Madrid , a move that would ideally land them their long-term replacement for Frank Lampard.

The Blues have had their eyes on the Croatian midfielder for years now, and it appears they are finally close to landing their man. The 27-year-old was one of the best attacking midfielders in the Premier League when he was with Tottenham and looks to be a solid fit in Chelsea's lineup.

Of course, Modric has largely been a flop with Real Madrid. He has scored just one goal in 15 league appearances with the club, and he was voted the worst La Liga signing of the season .

Despite his recent ineffectiveness, Modric would be a good addition to Chelsea. He was clearly more comfortable in England than in Spain, as he was a major factor in Tottenham's success while he was with the club.
