Chelsea will consider hiring Carlo Ancelotti as manager if he leaves Real Madrid at the end of the season.

Chelsea are searching for their next manager after firing Graham Potter. This week, Chelsea appointed Frank Lampard as interim manager.

Sources close to Ancelotti have told ESPN the four-time Champions League-winning coach accepts he is under pressure at Madrid and that his position would be under threat if he failed to deliver another Champions League title this year.

Ancelotti won a Premier League and FA Cup double in 2009-10 with Chelsea.
