Chelsea Manager betting

Carlo Ancelotti was relieved of his duties on Sunday night after a trophyless season at Stamford Bridge. Roman Abramovich pulled the plug on the Italian’s reign and the Blues have now gone through 4 managers in 3 years. It’s clear that Chelsea need to go through a period of transition, with an ageing squad and some promising youngsters, a few additions in the right areas and they could be challenging for honours again next season. Who will be the man to oversee the changes then? Well Ancelotti was chosen as he had previous experience of winning the Champions League with Milan, the one trophy that eluded the club under their most successful spell with Mourinho, so Abramovich could go for the same strategy. The early favourite though seems to be the former Holland and Ajax manager Marco Van Basten, who is priced as 4.0 with Stan James. The Dutchman looks the most likely to take charge after already admitting he would be tempted by the opportunity.

However, there are other names being suggested, including Guus Hiddink, who had a successful spell as manager of Chelsea in 2009. The current manager of Turkey is also fairly short odds and looks as though he could well be in the running. The best price on Guus Hiddink is available from Skybet with odds of 5.0 available. Another name in the running is Andre Villas-Boas, the young manager in charge of Porto, who learnt his trade working under Jose Mourinho. Villas-Boas is the youngster manager ever to win a European competition, he also won an incredible treble at Porto this season, setting a number of records on the way.  With all this in mind, Andre Villas-Boas is looking a good outside bet at 6.0 with Victor Chandler.
