Chelsea legend Gullit: Benitez will be replaced by Mourinho

Chelsea legend Ruud Gullit feels Rafa Benitez will be replaced by Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho at the end of the season. Gullit has no doubt that Benitez will leave when his contract expires in June.

"Rafa Benitez's main objective this season is to qualify for the Champions League and then to make way for Jose Mourinho," he told talkSPORT. "I have a gut feeling that Mourinho will come back to Chelsea.

"I have a feeling that he was meant to come back after the Champions League final but then when Chelsea won it I think he thought better of it. It's no coincidence that right after the final he signed a new contract with Real Madrid."
