Henk ten Cate is convinced both he and fellow assistant coach Steve Clarke could take charge of Chelsea's first team affairs for next season.
The Dutchman says he's been assured of his job by chief executive Peter Kenyon and also told Voetbal International: "There are three options: there is a new coach who brings in his own technical staff. Or Steve Clarke and I take the team over. Or there is a new trainer who keeps me involved."
