Avram Grant was just one slip away from Champions League glory but clearly that wasn’t enough for the Chelsea regime. The club announced that Grant had parted company with the club on Saturday evening, just a few days after the dramatic European final.
It’s not believed that Chelsea have a ready-made replacement lined up, although the club have stated that the search for a new man starts immediately. Guus Hiddink, Frank Rijkaard and Sven are the early favourites to step into the expensive shoes that never really fitted Grant’s feet all that snugly.
It’s likely to be a summer of massive change at Stamford Bridge with some big money flying around. Even at this ridiculously early stage, it looks as though fantasy managers seeking to invest in Chelsea are going to have to take a gamble on a good deal of uncertainty.
