Ever since José Mourinho left all those years ago, they’ve been comparing his successors to him. And each one to try fill his larger-than-life shoes have failed the test miserably. Avram Grant was a successful rebound at first, but his toadlike demeanour left something to be desired after the suave swathe Mourinho had cut. Chelsea’s dalliance with Luiz Felipe Scolari was an inconvenient marriage-of-convenience. You could have had it all with Guus Hiddink but fate and mother Russia got in the way. Carlo Ancelotti just couldn’t keep the spark alive. André Villas-Boas had the resumé to emulate Mourinho, but not the nerve. Roberto di Matteo practically turned water into wine and still couldn’t nail down the job. And Benitez? Well, we all knew that was never going to work out.
