Chelsea supporters do not want Benitez as new manager

Rafael Benitez will not be accepted as Chelsea manager should he be appointed to succeed Roberto Di Matteo, according to a supporters' group.

Benitez has been linked to the job after Di Matteo was sacked following eight months in charge.

But chair of the Chelsea Supporters Group, Trizia Fiorellino, said: "I don't think Benitez is a good manager."

David Johnstone, spokesman for fanzine cfcuk, added: "Benitez is not a Chelsea manager. He isn't what we want."

With Chelsea expected to make an quick announcement on their new boss, Fiorellino and Johnstone give BBC Sport the thoughts of fans as Roman Abramovich looks for his ninth manager in nine years.
