Chelsea have reportedly identified Southampton boss Ralph Hasenhuttl as a possible replacement for Frank Lampard should the Englishman be sacked.

Thomas Tuchel, who is the most popular candidate to replace Lampard, is however overlooked by the west London club.

However according to the Daily Mail, while the Austrian gaffer is a potential option, he will not leave the Saints during the season.

It has also been claimed that RB Leipzig manager Julian Nagelsmann, Thomas Tuchel and Ralf Rangnick are also on the radar.

Former Juventus boss Massimiliano Allegiro rounds up the five-man shortlist.

Lampard is under pressure at Stamford Bridge with Chelsea losing four out of their last six Premier League games.
