Henk ten Cate and Steve Clarke are expected to follow Avram Grant out of Chelsea.

The Times says Ten Cate is facing the sack after upsetting many at the club since he joined from Ajax last autumn. The Dutchman has failed to develop a close working relationship with either Grant or Clarke and, more importantly, has alienated several senior players with what is perceived to be his brash and arrogant attitude.

Clarke is more likely to stay if Grant leaves because the pair have never been close, although many at the club believe it would be better for him to move to achieve a clean break and sever all links with the Jose Mourinho era.
