So finally the move comes replacing Roberto Di Matteo with Rafael Benitez.
Now it is up to the new incumbant to prove his worth and mettle not only to the team but also the countless fans of Chelsea - who expect something 'out of the Blue' after the new man takes charge and stock of the Blues' affairs.
Chelsea's Russian handed the former Liverpool boss a contract until the end of the season, having seemingly been unable to woo the man said to be his number one target. This means he is still on probation and an interim arrangement, which places enormous pressure on Benitez to unleash whatever strategy he has up his sleeve to ensure a permanent arrangement with the Blues.

Let us see what wonders he does as much is expected of him.
