Avram Grant is confident his Chelsea job won't be affected by demands for coaching qualifications.

Under Uefa and Premier League rules, a Uefa Pro Licence is required by anyone wishing to manage in the top flight on a permanent basis, which is taken to mean more than 12 weeks.

But Grant does have the highest form of coaching badge that was available when he qualified in Israel.

"I did everything I need to get the badge. The problem is that Israel did not belong to Europe," he said. "They didn't have permission to grant the licence but two months ago Uefa gave them permission, so I don't think there will be any problem and I won't have to fly there every Monday."
