Rafa Benitez has caused it to be clear he won't be in charge of Chelsea next season. Whilst this will be a relief for supporters, the situation of who succeeds him will be key to repairing a club that has imploded just after perhaps its finest hour. The Daily Mail has noted that former manager Jose Mourinho is on the verge of signing a deal that could see him come back to Stamford Bridge. SkyBet has him at 1-2 to be the next permanent Chelsea boss, a move that might be most welcomed by the lovers. Whether Roman Abramovich will be able to overcome the problems that found Mourinho depart in September 2007 should make anyone think twice about thinking in that: If the Russian shows something in his decade at Stamford Bridge, it is that you cannot really know very well what he is thinking. Oddschecker.com has David Moyes at the next best price. An excellent job have been done by moyes with very limited resources at Everton. The team has lived within its means, and qualification for the Champions League in 2005 gave its finances a raise, but Moyes' deals in the shift windows have always been informed. In 11 years, the Merseyside club have been taken by him from relegation candidates to constant contenders for a European spot, receiving praise from Sir Alex Ferguson, who desires Moyes to succeed him at Manchester United. With presents on the table from groups with a history of allowing managers to build a heritage, it is impossible that the possibility to take control at a club that will have now been through 10 managers in 10 years will actually hold any appeal to him. January Kruger/Getty Images The next most useful bets are Gianfranco Zola and Fabio Capello, closely followed by Guus Hiddink. Zola is held in amazingly high regard at Stamford Bridge. A decade on from his departure, the affection that watching him perform motivated remains, and to see him treated defectively might alienate the supporters irretrievably. It absolutely was bad enough seeing Roberto Di Matteo sacked at 4 a.m. and replaced within hours by Rafa Benitez. If Abramovich did the same to Zola, it would kill any chance of a connection with the fans and ruin any chance he may have of persuading the Chelsea Pitch Owners to offer him the freehold of Stamford Bridge. Fabio Capello was in charge of two former Chelsea executives during his first cause at AC Milan, Carlo Ancelotti and Ruud Gullit, which reveals the wealth of knowledge he's in the overall game. But, days gone by five years of his profession have already been spent training in the international arena. Biennial events mean activities are far and few between for national edges, and a return to the kind of work encountered at a club like Chelsea would have been a surprise to any system. Guus Hiddink had previously declared that he'd retire at the conclusion of this season when his present contract with Anzhi Makhachkala expires, although he's since declined to exclude a return to Chelsea. He enjoyed success as the director in 2009, as he won the FA Cup and advised the Blues to a finish in the Premier League. As much as the numbers suggest that Mourinho only must sign a deal that has been already discussed, Hiddink would be a smart move for Abramovich. He is respected by every one at the club and even offers a brief history with the "old guard". If the get back of the Special One ends up to be another great piece of media fodder, Hiddink could herald a fresh era of security at Stamford Bridge.
