Grant made too many errors at Chelsea says Berkovic (Reuters)
Published 5/24/2008 at Yahoo! Sports - World Soccer News
Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich
sacked manager Avram Grant because he realised the Israeli would
not be able to take the club any further, former international
midfielder Eyal Berkovic said on Saturday.
Chelsea issued a statement on their Web site on Saturday
saying the club had terminated Grant's contract. The decision
came four days after Chelsea were beaten on penalties in the
Champions League final by Manchester United.
