Deschamps told Monaco-based radio station RMC:
"Three or four managers are on the list and I am one of
them.
"It would be hard to refuse Chelsea. I want to return to
coaching.
"I needed to rest, but I feel capable of achieving good things
now.
"Breaking back into management is complicated because there are
not always the opportunities, but the Chelsea position is now
free.
"I am flattered to be considered a possible candidate for the
role.
"They sacked their manager not because of the results they
achieved, but because of their wish to play a more attacking,
attractive style of football in the next few years.
"They are a very big club, that I know well.
"We will see over the next few days how it goes but any big-name
manager who is available would interest them."
