One the same day he was interviewed by Spanish radio Cadena Cope, legendary Italian manager Fabio Capello is being tipped by much of the press to succeed the under-siege Jose Mourinho at Chelsea.

According to William Hill, the former Roma, Real Madrid and Juventus manager's odds to manage the Blues are 7/2, with Carlo Ancelotti right behind at 9/2.

Oddly enough, were Capello to join the Blues, he'd have managed many of the same clubs as Carletto, who has also coached Juventus, Milan and Real, as well as starring as a player for Roma.

Among the other candidates, Pep Guardiola is in third place at 6/1, and another former Blue, Guus Hiddink, is fourth at 14/1.
