The loss of the Champion's League final and second place in the League Cup and Premier league has resulted in Avram Grant, the coach of Chelsea being fired.
To be honest, it just seems like asking a bit too much to expect....and the hierarchy at Chelsea always seemed to treat him as a stop gap coach. I don't think the Chelsea fans ever truly warmed up to him as he was cited as being one of the reasons for Jose Mourinho's unexpected exit.
As of now reports say that the favorites to take over are Guus Hiddink, Frank Rjkaard, and Sven-Goran Eriksson. Interestingly, the bookmakers have shortened the odds of Mourinho returning as coach of Chelsea from 20/1 to 8/1 overnight! However, I don't really see that happening.
