Chelsea recently has extended Avram Grant's contract as their manager and first team coach. Grant, the Israeli manager, took over the job after the shocking departure of Jose Mourinho. Howver, the duration of the new contract is not revealed yet. So far, Grant is considered to be successful as the Chelsea manager. The fans beginning to love him because of Chelsea's consistency both in EPL and European Champions League. They are still on the right track at both competition.
Is Grant a good manager? Well, it's kind a hard to find his track record as a football manager. He only had experience in the Israeli football league and failed to bring his country to play in the last World Cup. Beside that, there's nothing much to say about his reputation.
People think that he's done a great job at Chelsea. Well, I don't think I fully agree with that opinion. I know that Chelsea are still on the right track (as I said earlier) but people have to remember that Avram Grant is not the one who built Chelsea the way they are now. It was Mourinho who did all the team building since the first day he arrived. Grant just simply follows Mourinho's path. He uses the same 4-3-3 pattern that Mourinho had developed, the same players formation, and even the similar substitution pattern in the middle of a game. Grant is now also backed up by a brilliant assistant, Henk ten Cate, who was the right hand of Frank Rijkaard at Barcelona. Cate was Rijkaard's key factor behind Barcelona's success. After Cate left, Barcelona couldn't win anything.
I don't know why Chelsea bothered to extend Grant's contract instead of looking for other possibilites.

Who else thinks that sport has gone too far? I mean there is so much money involved in sport now that there is very little sport left anymore. Sport spread betting used to be frowned upon when I was a kid as it made people desperate for money to bet with but now it’s nothing compared to how disgraceful a footballer’s salary is! These people train a few times a week and play one game a week if they’re lucky and get paid a week more than I earn a year! And yet no authority has ever questioned it! Why!? There’s a minimum wage, why can’t there be a maximum wage as well based on the type of job? So all you betters out there, why don’t you start spread betting on how much players are going to be paid next instead of what used to be sport?
