Chelsea has started its search for a new manager after sacking Avram Grant on Saturday.
Grant, who replaced Jose Mourinho last September, was expected to be removed from his post following Chelsea’s failure to win a trophy for the first time in three seasons.
Steinbrenner-esque “a couple of second-place finishes is just not good enough for us – so although we never would have thought in September when Jose Mourinho left that we would be able to make it into a Champions League Final as we did – and that is fantastic – Chelsea are here to win trophies,” Buck said. “So although it was an excellent season, we are still disappointed.”
Wow. I would like to see a realistic and game related reason for Grant’s firing. This rhetoric is fantasy.
re: Sucks how the Final turned out. If Terry hadn’t slipped, Chelsea would have won.
