Everton mentioned as a possible destination for Blanc

The former manager of the French national team and Ligue 1 giants, Paris St Germain, is thought to be weighing up his options to return to management following a near two-year hiatus.

According to Football Weekly, the France international defensive legend is attracted by the chance to manage Chelsea but is also interesting Lyon and Everton.

The Blues are, of course, rumoured to be on the look-out for a new permanent manager now that Sam Allardyce has fulfilled his "fireman" brief and steered the club clear of relegation this season.

Blanc cut his managerial teeth at Bordeaux where he had a successful spell that included a run to the quarter finals of the Champions League, which ended up a two-year stint as France's national team manager.

It began, however, with Les Blues famous meltdown at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa but he stepped down two years later after guiding his country to the last eight at Euro2012.

He then took the helm at PSG for three years before making way for Unai Emery.
