http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/20422680So the usual names are in the frame to replace Di Matteo. Pep Guardiola, Rafael Benitez and Harry Redknapp are heading the bookies' lists. Roman Abramovich's old mate Andriy Shevchenko even features further down the long list. Anyone fancy Sheva? Doubt it. But who do you want?
Spanish football expert Guillem Balague on Twitter: "Pep [Guardiola] has told Roman he will continue his sabbatical and Rafa Benitez has not been approached. Would Avram Grant be a solution for now?"

Funny story about huddlestone - my mum used to work with this woman (i believe of Italian descent). And Tom Huddlestone was going out with her daughter. Apparently it'd been going for some time. They went on a couples' getaway and Huddlestone forgot she was with him and he came back mid-trip with someone else. Allegedly.
Footballers
Former Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez responds to Roberto Di Matteo's Chelsea exit, and tells Sport 360 website: "I have just found out (about Di Matteo). Obviously Chelsea is a top side and they can compete for trophies so it goes in this category."
The former Liverpool boss is currently in Abu Dhabi where he works as a pundit. The website says he is due to fly to the UK tonight.
Bentitez adds: "In football a lot of people are talking so we will see what happens in the next few days. I am looking for a club that can challenge for trophies and Chelsea is one of these clubs."
Chelsea Supporters Group Chair Trizia Fiorellina tells BBC Sport: "(Rafael) Benitez will just not be accepted by Chelsea supporters, neither will Avram Grant or Harry Redknapp.
"I simply don't think Benitez is a good manager. He's been out of work for two years now, if he was any good why hasn't any club snapped him up?"
Former Tottenham Hotspur manager Harry Redknapp tells BBC Sport he is giving serious thought to becoming manager of the Ukraine national team. "It is interesting," he said.
"It is an exciting country with some good young players and some great teams and I am serious about it. " Redknapp also said he had not been contacted by Chelsea regarding their vacant manager's position.

Stats
Crooknapp at Chelsea would just beall around.
Nnaemeka Rufus Jr on Twitter: "I guess the bookmakers were wrong. Nigel Adkins and Mark Hughes outlasted Roberto Di Matteo. Didn't see it coming."
Maybe Hughes might be the man they want in, former Chavs Legend and all.
Stop spoiling my dreamAh that's better
Society is now one polished horde
Formed by two mighty tribes, the bores and the bored.
"After all, it was the Gunners’ goalkeeper who started the move that culminated in Thomas’ crowning glory. It was Lukic who, in injury time, decided to throw the ball out to Lee Dixon rather than lump it long..."
