Rafa Benitez is the 5/4 favourite in Sky Bet's Premier League manager betting market to be in charge of Chelsea for the 2012/13 season. After a poor run of form, the Blues parted company with Andre Villas-Boas on Sunday and replaced him with assistant first-team coach Roberto Di Matteo until the end of the current campaign. Former Liverpool boss Benitez is the early favourite to return to the Premier League in August, but Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho is 4/1 to return to Stamford Bridge.
Interim boss Di Matteo is 5/1 to get the post on a regular basis, while Barcelona manager Pep Guardiola is 8/1 to move to west London. Sky Bet PR director Dale Tempest said: "Benitez is the early favourite, but there is a sense of unfinished business with Mourinho. "He looks like he will win the Primera Liga with Real Madrid and he would surely be tempted to return to the club where he won nearly everything - apart from the Champions League." He added: "The fans would surely want him back as Chelsea enjoyed their most successful period when he was at the helm."
