Next Chelsea Manager Odds Make Jose Mourinho Protege The Favourite As Carlo Ancelotti Sacked
Sunday 22 May 2011 at 20:49
 Carlo Ancelotti was sacked after Chelsea’s 1-0 loss to Everton on the final day of the season sparking plenty of action in the Next Chelsea Manager Betting Odds. According to the odds for Ancelotti’s replacement there could be a sense of déjà vu in who Chelsea appoint as their new manager.
Andre Villas-Boas The Favourite To Replace Ancelotti
Although many will be touting Jose Mourinho for a return to Stamford Bridge it could be that his relationship with Roman Abramovich stops the pair from reuniting so instead Chelsea look likely to appoint his protégé. Andre Villas-Boas, the youngest manager to win the Europa League, is just 9/4 with SkyBet and Victor Chandler to get the job. There would be echoes of Jose Mourinho’s appointment, he too guided Porto to European glory before leaving to join Chelsea and Villas-Boas has worked with Mourinho on several jobs. If you fancy Mourinho to get the Chelsea job then you can get bigger odds than in previous months, he is now as big as 5/1 with Victor Chandler, which makes him even less likely to be appointed than Harry Redknapp, who looks a bit short at 4/1 with SkyBet and just 3/1 with Victor Chandler.
Guus Hiddink Should Be First Choice For Chelsea
The most solid choice in the Next Chelsea Manager Odds appears to be Guus Hiddink, who enjoyed a successful short term stint as Chelsea manager two years ago. He has spent most of his recent career in international management and is still contracted to Turkey but he is still apparently paid as an advisor to Roman Abramovich and the pair clearly still have a strong relationship. He is popular with the fans too so expect Hiddink to shorten in the next few days, the 3/1 with Victor Chandler and SkyBet looks decent value. Dutch duo Marco Van Basten and Frank Rijkaard have also been linked with the job, Van Basten is 9/1 with SkyBet whilst Rijkaard is 12/1 with both Victor Chandler and SkyBet.
