Frank Lampard is on Lyon\u2019s shortlist as they search for a new manager to replace Laurent Blanc, according to reports.<\/p>\n

Chelsea news, exclusives and analysis<\/p>\n

The French giants are not in a good place, sitting bottom of Ligue 1 after picking up just one point from their opening four matches.<\/p>\n

This led to Blanc leaving his post by mutual consent earlier this week, although a search for his replacement was underway even before then.<\/p>\n

Reports emerged last week that Graham Potter was approached about a move to Lyon but the Englishman turned it down.<\/p>\n

Now another former Chelsea manager is being linked with the Lyon role as Lampard is being considered by the hierarchy at the club, according to 90min.com.<\/p>\n

Lampard had a pretty disastous season last time round, beginning it in charge of Everton before being sacked in January.<\/p>\n

He then returned to Chelsea as interim manager between Potter\u2019s spell in charge and Mauricio Pochettino taking over in the summer.<\/p>\n

That stint in charge at Stamford Bridge did not go well at all, with just one win in 11 matches, losing eight of those games.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Also in contention for the job is former AC Milan, Napoli and Valencia manager Gennaro Gattuso, who has been out of work since January.<\/p>\n

However, any candidate may be put off by the boardroom spat between current president John Textor and former president Jean-Michel Aulas, which is not aiding the concerning financial situation they are currently in.<\/p>\n
