Rafa Benitez: Set for Stamford Bridge

Sky Sports understands that Rafa Benitez is the man Chelsea have lined up to replace Roberto Di Matteo.

The European champions sacked Di Matteo just hours after their 3-0 UEFA Champions League defeat to Juventus which leaves them in danger of going out in the group stages.

Sky Bet Odds

Rafa Benitez is the early front-runner to replace Roberto Di Matteo as Chelsea boss. Bet now. New customers get £5 free every week for the rest of the season.

Di Matteo's departure was confirmed after talks overnight and owner Roman Abramovich has already made moves to find a replacement.

With former Barcelona chief Pep Guardiola unwilling to cut short his 12-month sabbatical from the game, the first choice is Benitez.

Sky Sports sources believe that talks have already taken place, and it is understood Chelsea want their new coach - be it interim or not - in place before this weekend's top-of-the-table clash with Manchester City.

52-year-old Benitez has been out of work since leaving Inter Milan in 2010 after he spent just six months at the San Siro.

Sky Bet have made the former Liverpool boss the favourite in their next Chelsea manager betting, with Guardiola and Harry Redknapp also at the head of the list of candidates.

from frying pan to fire

.When will Chelsea learn to stop using Liverpools leftovers?!

Yossi Benayoun - Liverpool to chelsea - Epic fail.

Fernando Torres - Liverpool to Chelsea - Epic Fail.

Raul Miereles - Liverpool to Chelsea - Not too good.

Benitez,seriously?.....dx roman guy is high

.....i give him six months, and he is a goner
but maybe he may reactivate torres

Rafael dat have been inactive for 2yrs. Na wa o

thiis roman guy dnt even know what next....

Reading now on my mind

He will be a good coach... All i want him to do, is to take chances......

Maybe someone can finally come with the manual on how to operate d once efficient machine called torres, afterall.

rafa after man city wins you on sunday u will be sacked

Indeed from frying pan to fire. I don't see him making any magic or difference at Chelsea. What Chelsea lack is a good striker.

I comment my reserve !

Benitez always available for any coaching job.

Did benitez eva win any match both @liverpool п̥̥
inter?

Chelsea should make continuity their top priority and stop all these up and down sacks.
no manager worth his pedigree will like to come to a club whose billionaire owner's got a hand of fury.

Smh 4 chelsea. They r just confused

Benitez is actually a very good coach, but he is not one 4 fancy football, and he keeps clashing with d owners of d clubs he manages. I can remember when he virtually abused d owners of Valencia after he resigned his appointment. He abused inter Milan owner after winning d world club championship.

Mad Cow: .When will Chelsea learn to stop using Liverpools leftovers?!

Yossi Benayoun - Liverpool to chelsea - Epic fail.

Fernando Torres - Liverpool to Chelsea - Epic Fail.

Raul Miereles - Liverpool to Chelsea - Not too good.

Benitez is a good coach. Hopefully, Chelsea will win EPL, UCL, Capital One Cup and others. Trust me, the guy is smooth.

Emenalo would b a better replacement na.

Seems chelsea owner & board are kinda confuse, anyway Benitez come chop υя own part of the billionaire's money & don't 4get τ̲̅ȍ be expecting υя sack letter.

This will result to downfall of Chelsea.

Any way it's just for a short period of time, till My chairman Guardiola is back.

Well, Benitez is the only option for now.

2005 champions league

Another left over from liverpool. When are you preparing £50m with Hazard, Ramires & Mata for Luiz Suarez? YNWA!

Baba olowo. You will still end up sacking this Benitez

The juicest football coaching job in the world is at Chelsea. Just sign a £2.5Million per year contract with Abramovic for 3years {i.e £2.5M X 3} = £7.5M and get sacked after 3 months and, you don HAMMER. No wonder Di Matteo keeps smiling. Sharp guy. LOL
