Grant sacked as Chelsea manager

Chelsea have started their 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.


The 52-year-old Israeli found it hard to come to terms with being thrust into the spotlight and although he guided Chelsea into their first Champions League final, the penalty shoot-out defeat in Moscow last Wednesday paved the way for his departure.

After two days of meetings, Chelsea confirmed their decision in a statement.

It read: 'Chelsea can confirm that Avram Grant has had his contract as manager terminated today.

'This follows meetings over the last two days. Everybody at Chelsea FC would like to thank Avram for his contribution since taking over as manager last September.

'We will now be concentrating all our efforts on identifying a new manager for Chelsea and there will be no further comment until that appointment is made.' Grant joined the club last summer from Portsmouth to take up the post of director of football.'

Then manager Mourinho, whose relationship with the board was already fractious, was unhappy with the appointment.

Mourinho was later dismissed after their 1-1 draw with Rosenborg at Stamford Bridge in their opening Champions League game.

Grant, who had never managed a club in England, was asked to takeover and later given a four-year contract.

A close friend of the club's billionaire owner Roman Abramovich, Grant's brief reign was tainted by reports of anti-Semitic abuse but remarkably he equalled a nine-match winning run set by Mourinho's side two years earlier.

Grant brought in Henk ten Cate as his assistant as well as new fitness and goalkeeping staff.

But his appointment was never really accepted by the fans, who steadfastly refused to chant his name until the final game of the season, and his sour-faced demeanour did him few favours.

He was also criticised for being tactically inept but guided the club to the final of the Carling Cup in February only to lose 2-1 to Tottenham.

But remarkably, Chelsea pushed Manchester United to the wire in the race for the Premier League and earned a place in their first Champions League final against Sir Alex Ferguson's side.

But his entire spell in charge was littered with speculation that he was just a stop-gap appointment and that he would leave in the summer.

Chelsea consistently denied they had plans to change their manager but the deafening silence from the club's board after Wednesday's defeat by United, told its own story.

Both chief-executive Peter Kenyon and chairman Bruce Buck paved the way for change by insisting that Chelsea's performance this season was simply 'not good enough'.

Buck said: 'We have very high expectations at Chelsea and 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. So although it was an excellent season, we are still disappointed.'

A series of discussions finally resolved Grant's future and it is understood the Israeli said his farewells to the players on Friday - telling them it had been a 'privilege' to manage the team.

RIP!  Should CFC win either the league or ECL, the outcome would be the same!

都唔係意外啦

我一向都以為格蘭只係臨時人選, 等到油王搵到新教頭就會比人踢走啦.

不過, 我地喺呢度都講過, 其實格蘭嘅表現可謂不過不失. 帶到球隊做「雙亞王」, 至少好過利記同阿仙奴丫.

如果只係計聯賽戰績, 其實格蘭得勝率, 報紙講過都係高過摩連奴架

球員之間有點摩擦是事實。

得勝率高過摩連奴有点？ 佢得唔到球员同球迷的支持才是最大败笔！

統計數字係睇點樣計法，
但並唔等於格蘭唔係無能。

事實上，戰術佢係九流。

其實佢地今年聯賽盃, 聯賽同歐聯加埋係三亞王黎架~

不過咁多位都覺得佢係暫時性既領隊都真既, 至於話佢教得ok, 有成績, 某程度上都係同之前雲里亞里 & 摩連奴磨合得好有關啦~

我諗我地求其搵個去教呢隊波 (無將帥不和既話) 拿歐聯資格應該都唔會係問題

無球員同球迷支持係問題, 不過無油王支持問題更大 (好似摩連奴咁)

而戰術上 / 換人去睇, 佢亦都失敗過好多次 (領先1-0 80' 換阿歷士入黎打3中堅比人扳平個幾次

不過對某d中小型球會黎講, 格蘭有咁既戰績 (姑勿論以咩球員拿啦) 都算幾好既成績表黎架喇

未必. 球隊並非由球迷操縱.

如果球迷不支持就摒棄教頭, 費格遜在15年前已經被革走啦.

球員不和係比較嚴重的問題. 但係格蘭係新手, 車仔球員大多是國腳級, 不服他調度亦不為奇.

其實, 摩連奴戰勝率係70.8%, 格蘭係70.3%.

戰術好定唔好呢D野係好靠主觀嘅, 數據可以證明嘅並不多.

無錯, 車仔成隊都係猛人, 絕對有問鼎歐聯嘅能力. 但係, 係唔係是但比個蛋散教都可以得到今年嘅成績呢?......

以阿布投放既金錢及車仔既實力, 一季裡竟然拿不到一個冠軍, 相信任何領隊都難免被叮

fireball, welcome

我諗呢度大多數人都贊成格蘭被炒. 聽講話佢同油王係死黨, 所以先至留到咁耐.

呢d我都同意, 我都無話唔炒格蘭喎. 佢換人同控制球員上係好差喎
不過我覺得佢唔係咩都差過摩連奴的, 至少客觀數據俾我地睇到呢一點.

我指的得勝率係只係計今季.

【明報專訊】俗語有云「好馬不吃回頭草」，但今季季初不歡而散的車路士班主艾巴莫域與前領隊摩連奴似欲反其道而行，在現任主帥格蘭勢被辭退之際，突然爆出消息指「油王」與「摩帥」近日重修舊好，多次通訊聯絡，可能造就「翻兜佳話」，由摩帥回歸帶領「藍戰士」再建王朝。

車路士於歐聯決賽功虧一簣，連同社區盾、英格蘭聯賽盃和英超，今季成為不值一提的「四亞王」，乃3季以來首度空手而回，行政總裁簡安表明對戰績不滿。英國傳媒指季初接替摩連奴掌帥的格蘭，在歐聯賽後立即被球會高層「請食無情雞」，在緊急會議中被告知可獲得8040萬港元(520萬鎊)「掟煲費」，條件是他必須守口如瓶，拒絕對外透露「分手」詳情；而這名以色列主帥得悉即將下台後，昨天接連致電麾下各球員和職員，留下告別和致謝「遺言」。

格蘭獲賠8000萬封嘴

除了格蘭，據稱助教坦基迪與奇勒同樣會離職，令藍戰士整個教練團真空。新帥人選大熱門暫時仍是剛在巴塞隆拿掛冠的列卡特，但亦忽然「殺出程咬金」。英國《太陽報》引述車路士高層消息，透露摩連奴與艾巴莫域已冰釋前嫌，近6個星期3度「溫馨對話」，雙方表明既往不究。該名消息人士稱﹕「近幾周他們的對話愈見頻繁，似乎願意再次建立溝通橋樑；球會一眾董事和總監也曾跟摩連奴對談，努力消除一切恩怨情仇。」

一直盛傳摩連奴會執教國際米蘭，意大利傳媒便聲稱在歐聯決賽賽後，摩連奴以手機短訊向車路士中場艾辛透露將與國際米蘭簽約﹕「你踢得很好。周一我將飛往米蘭市跟國際米際簽約，希望有一天你也會加盟。」所以若真是回巢車路士，確是太出人意表，因為連博彩公司也沒有列他為下一任領隊的可能人選。不過事實上，2004年投效車路士的摩連奴除了奪得多項錦標，亦深得杜奧巴等球星信賴，遠勝不得民心的格蘭；而摩帥在離任後仍一再強調深愛藍戰士，並表示為他們屈居歐聯亞軍而傷感﹕「我很難過，對車路士家族而言，這實在太殘酷，太不公平了。」因此他「翻兜」亦並非絕不可能。

格蘭vs摩連奴>>>>>>咪鰠輸在無個人風格、領導氣派囉。

同意閣下所言.
格蘭好似個燒爛左嘅摩連奴. 終日一臉苦相, 輸左波就賴生賴死. 但係摩帥嘅言行有積極嘅影響力, D人會聽佢講嘅野 (聽完後媽叉佢係另外一回事啦). 聽格蘭D賽後訪問好似神父講經咁.
有邊一個球員聽佢講野係會戰意高昂嘅, 我真係好想會會佢.

先不論功績，做教練做到班球員無個support你，已經死�鱁�!

其實真係完全唔知有咩人支持格蘭... 由聯賽盃決賽全班球員踢加時走埋泰利度聽戰術個陣, 到依家成3個月, 捱到咁耐真係奇跡

在第一季艾巴莫域接手車路士佢已經任雲尼亞里玩�髐@季，今次佢好明顯係同一態度，證明佢心中早已放棄了今季。

接近季尾炒領隊係好不智的行為....請唔好一味用個人喜好去定奪.

我對格蘭的評價無你地咁負面, 係因為佢點衰都好, 人地始終帶到佢上英超第二.
摩連奴今季帶的前1/3季, 果陣排第幾先?

既然佢可以一度逼到同曼聯同分, 而且接近季尾又唔慌請到咩好教練, 點解唔俾多少少耐性呢?
反正而家輸左, 有格蘭做戰靶, 有咩事個focus都唔係老細度, 艾巴莫域治何樂而不為? 萬一一個唔覺意, 格蘭好彩少少, 林柏特果球禁區頂勁射唔係中楣而係擦楣底入的話, 我地全部都要收聲添..... 俾你係老細, 你會點做呢?

所以其實格蘭可以教到今季完結基本上係意料中事, 如果佢可以教埋下季就奇d姐

何況講到底, 格蘭都係油王嘅死黨, 油王點都會比個台階佢落嘅.

摩帥在舊年9月被炒, 當時並無似樣嘅教頭可以即時效命. 可能油王認為一隊滿載世界級的球隊應該唔需要太多的指導, 所以並未急於尋找世界級的教頭. 結果佢地真係做得唔錯丫, 學阿橙哥話齋, 如果唔係林伯中柱, 我地可能根本唔會有呢個討論.

同埋好似有消息話前法國隊長/摩洛哥/祖記教頭迪甘斯可能準備上車.

我初頭都以為係, 話晒格蘭都幾慘, 失驚無神由乜乜總監(唔記得詳細..)轉黎做呢個風頭火勢的coach....

點知油王似乎係唔我地想像中咁..... 佢地而家唔係和平分手喎..... 講到明係炒佢...

to be honest, 格蘭真係冇料。

我係一個陰謀論主意者。你可以話我事後孔明，我覺得Chelsea同MU在Premier and Champion League可以鬥到直路，係兩個杯在4月已經agree�鱄渧U，Chelsea只不過在陪人高興。 (好似偏見����)
