Benítez given 10-day Juventus ultimatum – Report” plus 1 moreRafael Benítez given 10-day Juventus ultimatum – Report Posted: 14 Apr 2010 07:48 AM PDT Rafael Benítez’s future was thrown into further doubt today after rumours circulated suggesting the Liverpool manager has been given a ten-day ultimatum by Italian giants Juventus, who want the 49-year-old to take over in Turin next season. A report in The Times today suggests the Serie A club have given the former Valencia boss just ten days in which to respond to their advances, piling the pressure on Benítez who is faced with an uncertain future at Anfield after Tom Hicks and George Gillett opened the floor to potential buyers this week. Juventus will face tough competition for the Spaniard if they intend on bringing him to Italy this summer, with Benítez rumoured to be top of Real Madrid's shortlist of potential new managers, above Inter boss Jose Mourinho and England manager Fabio Capello. Of course, Benítez may chose to stay on at Anfield, especially when you consider the manager has four years left on his Liverpool contract and has secured the long-term deals of key players including Steven Gerrard, Fernando Torres and Pepe Reina. But should Benítez seal an Anfield departure at the end of the season it will send shock-waves through the rest of European football, especially if the Champions League-winning boss decides to head for the Bernabéu. A move away from Merseyside would leave the 18-times English League winners searching for a new manager in the midst of one of the biggest ownership crises seen in English football. With little financial backing and an uncertain future it would no doubt be hard for Liverpool to attract a top manager, leaving question marks over whether Benítez, regardless of this disappointing season, is the best man for the job. Clearly if he moves to either Juventus or Madrid it will leave the other club without their first choice appointment, with Real's second choice reportedly being the current Inter manager Jose Mourinho, who is allegedly sick of life in Milan. So should Benítez decide leave Anfield at the end of this season it will leave at least two clubs searching for a new manager, and it could result in three giants of European football all in the hunt for new coaches this summer. - Why Rafael Benítez is still the right man for Liverpool - Liverpool slump to Europa League defeat at Lille - Five of the most bizarre managerial substitutions Nervy win sees Chelsea move four points clear at the top Posted: 14 Apr 2010 04:16 AM PDT Chelsea moved four points clear at the summit of the Premier League last night with a nervy victory over Bolton Wanderers at Stamford Bridge. Nicolas Anelka snatched the winner two minutes before the break and the home side managed to cling on to the advantage despite enduring an edgy second half. Bolton looked impressive considering their current position in the League table and they maintained a solid shape as Chelsea struggled to break the visitors down. Fans of the Trotters wanted an improved brand of football after the reign of Gary Megson and it appears his replacement, Owen Coyle, is laying the essential foundations for a positive campaign next season. They showed a steely determination and limited the hosts to few chances with Didier Drogba largely anonymous. However it was the Ivory Coast striker who created Chelsea's only goal of the night. His delicious cross was met by the head of Anelka just as half time beckoned to ease the nerves of the home supporters and give the France striker his first goal since January. The match’s talking points will have left fans of Bolton, Arsenal and Manchester United reeling after referee Lee Probert turned down a pair of penalty claims for the Trotters. In the eyes of Owen Coyle, Bolton were denied “two clear penalties”. The first came after Drogba displayed his “world class volleyball” skills in the penalty area, deflected the ball from the path of the onrushing Kevin Davies with a subtle movement of the arm. Later in the second half the ball appeared to strike Chelsea skipper Terry on the arm in the six yard box but on both occasions the referee waved play on. When Coyle was asked whether he believed his Bolton side had played the eventual champions, the former Republic of Ireland international remarked that if Ancelotti's team continued to receive such generous treatment from officials they would certainly be crowned Champions. This hard earned victory edged Chelsea closer to the title with four games remaining but the Blues will be aware of a potential further twist in the title race with John Terry and co. faced with the prospect of difficult trips to Anfield and White Hart Lane. The visit of Stoke is sandwiched between these two away fixtures followed by a home clash with Wigan on the final day of the season. Ancelotti insists that his players will remain grounded with the title far from won, but the Italian coach did say that "the Premier League is now in our hands," However, he urged his squad to take nothing for granted, adding "we have to stay focused and calm." - Wolves edge closer to safety after Upton Park triumph - Falcao aiming to secure historic Emirates victory - Momentum building behind Arsenal’s title challenge You are subscribed to email updates from The Sport Review To stop receiving these emails, you may unsubscribe now.
