    Chelsea have appointed former Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez as interim manager until the end of the season.
    Previous manager Roberto Di Matteo was sacked on Wednesday following the 3-0 Champions League defeat by Juventus.
    Benitez's short-term appointment could pave the way for owner Roman Abramovich to make a summer approach for ex-Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola.
    Benitez, 52, becomes the Blues' ninth manager since Abramovich took over in 2003.

    Interim manager til the end of the season.

    Chelsea fans outside the ground chanting 'You're not welcome here, f*ck off Benitez'.
    Head of Chelsea Fans on 5Live: "Benitez is a very poor manager. A terrible choice. He won the CL title on penalties. A total fluke"

    Most bookies won't pay out yet as he hasn't been appointed permanently.

    Paddy Power said that if someone was appointed til the end of the season then that was it. If a press release though describes his as interim manager I could see them trying to be cheeky.

    oh how the mighty have fallen.

    reduced to taking part-time work.


    is there even any incentive for him to do well?

    he knows he is getting replaced

    can he rejuvinate fernando torres?

    the whole thing is quite unsavoury

    I'm sure he will have a long and fruitful spell at the club thanks to the board's easygoing and patient nature.

    Of course there is incentive for him to well . Do well and he might get the job full time even if he that doesnt happen other clubs might take him if he does well .

    You might want to check your bet, he is an 'interim' manager, most of those bets are for next 'fulltime' manager.

    Under FSG and Rodgers we aren't really going to be mixing it with Chelsea, so I wouldn't worry about it tbh.

    I checked with Betfair before taking the bet . . Once he has managed 10 games they payout .. I got evens so thought it was a no brainer . . Its money in the bank . . (or at least on deposit) . . Surely even Roman cant get rid of an interim manager that quickly! I think Roman will give him a few games that gives my bet a chance . .

    Oh my

    I know, I should take a leaf out of out manager's book - talking a good game gets you lots of credit irrespective of what you're actually doing.

    Under FSG and Kenny yous couldn't mix it with Chelsea despite them having their worst league finish in a decade.

    Why are 'Pool fans wishing him luck? He's a legend at your club, so wanting him to do well at another club is normal but at Chelsea? I thought there would be a line drawn there.

    I'm just looking in from the outside though.

    What's the problem? It's not like they're competitors, Chelsea are challenging for the league, Liverpool will be glad to finish in the top half of the table.
