Avram Grant takes over at Chelsea

Chelsea have announced that following the surprise departure of Jose Mourinho by mutual consent, they have appointed Avram Grant as manager.

Grant had recently been appointed Chelsea's director of football, and it remains to be seen whether his new role is a short-term or long-term appointment.

Quote of the day comes from former Chelsea player, Pate Nevin: "Avram Grant is going to be as welcome as Camilla at Diana's memorial." (source: BBC's article Chelsea name Grant new manager)
