Scion Turbocharged February 24, 2012 Share February 24, 2012 (edited) Chelsea is so desperate now that they even consider Rafa who messed up Liverpool and Inter Milan? By ESPNsoccernet staff Rafael Benitez's agent insists there has been no official approach from Chelsea and said the position would only be considered "once there is an offer". Reports in both the London Evening Standard and The Times have suggested Chelsea have lined up Benitez as a potential successor to Andre Villas-Boas. The Spaniard is currently available, having been out of work since his brief spell at Inter Milan in 2010, and his impressive record in Europe may appeal to Blues owner Roman Abramovich. However, Manuel Garcia Quilon - while ruling nothing out - says the Blues are yet to make any kind of approach at this stage. "There is nothing official," he said. "It's only media speculation and we have not been approached by Chelsea. We would only evaluate that possibility once there is an offer." He added: "Benitez's priority is to coach in the Premier League." Villas-Boas has maintained that he retains the full support of Abramovich despite the club's disappointing performance in the league and this week's Champions League defeat to Napoli. Chelsea's managers since Mourinho: 2004 - 2007: Jose "Special One" Mourinho Won 2 titles and 4 cups but left "on mutual consents" (rumours on disagreement with Roman Abramovich) 2007 - 2008: Avram Grant tio pok after one season 2008 - 2009: Luiz Scolari World Cup winner but tio pok after only half a season 2009: Guus Hiddink Highly rated, win FA Cup, popular among players but only interested in managing Chelsea for half a season 2009 - 2011: Carlo Ancelotti tio pok after 2 seasons, winning a title and 2 cups... also signed Torres for British record of 50m 2011 - present: Andres Villa Boas Young and highly rated, dubbed as the next Mourinho, but seems to lose support of senior players and Roman Abramovich... Has the worst managerial record for Chelsea in the past 7 seasons Edited February 24, 2012 by Scion ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akula Turbocharged February 24, 2012 Share February 24, 2012 Mourinho got the best deal as Chelsea then was in its prime! Drogba, A Cole, J Cole, Terry, Lampard, Cech, etc..... Factor in Carvalho, Essien they were all in their mid twenties! Now, nearly all cross 30 already. Whoever comes in will have to do a massive rebuilding!

Civic2000 Supercharged February 24, 2012 Share February 24, 2012 (edited) With the current dismay performance of Chelsea couple with the dressing room unrest, with the likes of Frank Lampard and Ashley Cole reportedly in open revolt, 4th spot looks to be out of the reach of Chelsea this season. Arsenal is also not performing, the team is too dependent on RVP, and if RVP get injured, or out of form, Arsenal will be in big trouble - RIP for Arsenal this season? I bet Liverpool to finish the season on 4th position and qualify for UCL Edited February 24, 2012 by Civic2000 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
