Strasbourg have announced that their coach Liam Rosinior is traveling to London to negotiate with Chelsea over taking the Blues' technical boss role.
Chelsea had announced the dismissal of coach Enzo Maresca last Thursday due to poor results.
Strasbourg says Rosinior will talk with Chelsea about leading the team, but Chelsea's appointment will not be confirmed until a new Strasbourg coach is found.
London negotiations and Chelsea's change
Chelsea drew 1-1 with Manchester City on Sunday at the Etihad Stadium in the 20th round of the Premier League.
Chelsea entered this match shortly after the departure of coach Enzo Maresca, guided by caretaker Calum McFarlane.
Premier League standings after the draw
With that draw, City moved to 42 points, six behind leaders Arsenal, while Chelsea climbed to 31 points in fifth.
Two light jokes to end on: If talks pay as well as tickets, Chelsea won't need owners. Meanwhile Strasbourg will keep the receipt for the next transfer window.
