Avram Grant insists Chelsea is not the impossible job.

Roman Abramovich is now looking for his eighth new coach in eight years after axing AVB on Sunday, leaving the season in a mess.

Grant told The Sun: "Whoever takes over from Alex Ferguson at Manchester United, now that will be a tough job, almost impossible. But it will be much easier to take over Chelsea now than when I did.

"I had to replace Jose Mourinho. He was and still is a massive name at Chelsea - that was tough.

"The writing was on the wall for Villas Boas. Football is a game of results and I like to see managers given at least a year. But even after three or four months you can sense the direction in which the team is going.

"When you sign a coach you sign a philosophy. Under Mourinho the team got results. This time results were not good neither was the football and when they happen like that together there is only one outcome."
