CHELSEA SACK GRANT

Avram Grant has been sacked as manager of Chelsea.

The decision comes after the Blues missed out on the Champions League trophy on penalties to Manchester United, who also pipped them to the Premier League title.

Grant's dismissal follows on from talks with Chelsea chief executive Peter Kenyon.

The Israeli had only taken charge of the club last September.

There is already speculation that former boss Jose Mourinho could make a sensational return to Stamford Bridge, while former Barcelona supremo Frank Rijkaad is thought to be a more likely candidate for the job.

Its saddening and shocking how little time he had got to deliver and even after runners up in the Premiership,Carling Cup and UEFA Champions league,its not seen to be enough.
The new manager would most probably be Frank Rjikard,after he was outsted from Barcelona following a trophy-less season.
I think Avram Grant should have been given more time at the club.As now things stand,Manchester City is the most interested in him replacing Sven Goran Eriksson who is most likely to be axed even after the best finish for Manchester City.
