roberto de matteo sacked

[20sbc07]

Former Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez responds to Roberto Di Matteo's Chelsea exit, and tells Sport 360 website: "I have just found out (about Di Matteo). Obviously Chelsea is a top side and they can compete for trophies so it goes in this category."

The former Liverpool boss is currently in Abu Dhabi where he works as a pundit. The website says he is due to fly to the UK tonight.

Bentitez adds: "In football a lot of people are talking so we will see what happens in the next few days. I am looking for a club that can challenge for trophies and Chelsea is one of these clubs."

I seriously have no idea how Benitez is even linked to the job, never mind favourite for it!
Absolutely shocking manager, failed at liverpool and then failed even worse at Inter.

I thought they'd be after Guardiola or even Harry

Im not having a go at you personally, but people generally on here (and elsewhere) who quote "facts" without checking them out. A prime example last season was the number of points City were ahead of United before 'blowing' their lead. When one of these so called facts is quoted enough times, it becomes true, even though it isnt.

Didn't he also sack Ranieri?

You can't see a Benitez link but you can a Twitcher one?
Twitcher got one club to the CL
Benitez has reached 2 finals, winning one of them.
I can see the link, though I agree he wouldn't be top of my wanted list if I was a Chavski fan.<br /><br />-- Wed Nov 21, 2012 1:41 pm --<br /><br />

He sure did.

Stability has and always will be the key to success. Let's be honest here,Chelsea got lucky last year in the champions league but fair play to them,they won it.

As City fans we all know that changing manager constantly just does not work.

This will certainly cause problems for Chelsea and can only be a good thing for our title defence.

Forza Mancini.

When you look at the trophies Chelsea have won since Roman took over, or the trophies Real Madrid have won in the last 20 years, or even AC Milan - it makes a mockery of the "Stability is the key to success" argument. Stability is part of what can make a club successful if the right person is in charge.

As City fans what we know is that our club has a fantastic track record of appointing the wrong manager as opposed to sacking the right one.

Definitely only a good thing for our title defence.

Forza Mancini (until May).

It makes you wonder just how successful Chelsea might have been if Jose had stayed. El bacon might still be several titles behind Liverpool and we might not yet have won one.

Benitez to Chelsea done apparently.

Good appointment short or long term.

 

[bluelassie]

He'll have nothing to loose...does well and he may get the long term nod, does badly and it's only a short term contract. Either way it's a shed load of money.

 

[avoidconfusion]

Wow... wins the Champions League and the FA Cup... gets sacked .... wtf is wrong with that club?

I hope he gets paid a FUCKLOAD of money and that will count against them with regards to FFPR.
