Former Barcelona boss Luis Enrique has been backed into odds-on 5/6 favourite to become the next Chelsea manager.
Enrique has had a year out of the game since taking a sabbatical following a successful spell at Camp Nou that yielded two La Liga and cup doubles and one Champions League title.

Antonio Conte has been under increasing pressure following a poor season that sees them sitting seven points outside of the top-four.
The Blues secured the Premier League title during the 2016/17 campaign, but it is widely reported that Conte will move on in the summer.
Enrique could be in prime position to takeover the reins next season, adding England as the third country that he has managed in.
The FA Cup remains the only trophy that Chelsea can secure this season, and they face Southampton in their semi-final at Wembley.
Juventus boss Massimiliano Allegri finds himself as the 11/4 second-favourite for the job.
FA Cup winner 17/18 (odds via Sky Bet)

- Tottenham - 2/1
- Manchester United - 5/2
- Southampton - 12/1
However, he recently committed his future to the Italian giants by saying: "I have a contract until 2020 and I am happy here. I am in harmony with the club.
"I go on vacation when the transfer window opens because I trust the club completely.
"We still need to meet some objectives. If we don’t win the Scudetto and Coppa Italia they might not still want me. We’ll talk it over the way we always do, every year. There’s no difference."
