Julian Nagelsmann is the favourite to replace Graham potter as Chelsea manager after he was sacked following the Blues’ 2-0 loss to Aston Villa.
The former Bayern boss, who is also wanted by Tottenham, is 10/11 favourite to take the role after leaving the German giants last month.
Former Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino (7/2) and three-time Champions League winning boss Zinedine Zidane (6/1) are also among the frontrunners.
Brentford’s Thomas Frank sits just behind them at 12/1, despite making it clear he was happy with the Bees when asked about a potential move in March.
Man City’s Pep Guardiola (17/2) is just behind with Oliver Glasner (10/1) of Eintracht Frankfurt.

There are a number of former Blues bosses on the list, with the likes of Antonio Conte (25/1) available after he parted ways with Daniel Levy and co earlier this month.
Club legends Frank Lampard (25/1) and John Terry (20/1) are also on the list alongside Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti (20/1), who won the league and FA Cup at Stamford Bridge in 2010, and Jose Mourinho (14/1) after his seven trophies across two previous spells at the club.

Brighton boss Roberto de Zerbi is surprisingly low on the list given his high standing in English football (66/1), with Chelsea presumably unwilling to appoint another Brighton boss after parting ways with Potter.
The Englishman laves West London after a disappointing seven months in charge that saw him win just 12 of 31 games.
He did guide Chelsea to a Champions League quarter final and was hamstrung by the arrival of £323 million worth of new players in January, but the board appears to have run out of patience after Saturday’s loss saw them slide to 11th in the league.
The Blues will next be in action against fellow struggling giants Liverpool on Tuesday.
They will be led by Bruno Saltor, who will act as interim boss until a permanent replacement is appointed.
