There could soon be vacancies at both Birmingham City and Derby County.
Some Birmingham City fans are fearing the worst as rumours surrounding the future of Frank Lampard, the Derby County manager, intensify.
Lampard is being heavily tipped to succeed Maurizio Sarri as Chelsea boss, after the Italian left for Juventus on Sunday.
Meanwhile, Monk could also be on his way out of a job amid reports his relationship with the Birmingham board has grown increasingly strained (although talk of that appears to have died down since the weekend).
And that has prompted the following Blues fans to speculate as to where the 40-year-old may end up. Their conclusion being Derby…
Lampard led Derby to the play-off final in his full first season in charge, with Monk leading Birmingham to a respectable 17th against a backdrop of financial problems which led to a nine-point deduction.
The former centre-back has previously managed at Swansea City, Leeds United and Middlesbrough with mixed success and is said to have been considered by Derby in 2016.
Birmingham City, Derby County, neither? Where will Monk begin next season?
