Roberto Mancini's right-hand man Sinisa Mihajlovic
insists that the Chelsea job will not be too big for the former
Inter Milan manager. Mihajlovic was Mancini's assistant in Milan
and is expected to join him at Stamford Bridge if he takes over
from Avram Grant.
He is still the clear favourite with the bookmakers despite new
links with AC Milan boss Carlo Ancelotti. And Mihajlovic said: "I
don't consider Chelsea to be a club superior to Inter in terms of
history. It is for that reason I say Roberto could easily manage
Chelsea and do well.
"Mancini has been at Inter for four years and has won a lot. I
think his future is abroad. The Premiership has always fascinated
Roberto." The Serb confirmed that he would follow Mancini to
London, saying: "My future is linked with Roberto for now. Where he
goes, I will follow as we are a bonded by a profound
friendship."
Second-favourite with the bookmakers is now Ancelotti, but his
AC Milan President has refuted the rumuors, saying he will allow
him to leave only in exchange for Didier Drogna or 50 million
Euros.
Mark Hughes, Phil Scolari and Frank Rijkaard are the other big
names in the frame.
