Rafael Benitez hints that he is open to taking over at Stamford Bridge following Chelsea's decision to call time on Roberto Di Matteo's career at the club.

Former Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez has suggested that he is open to the possibility of taking the managerial job at Chelsea.

The Spaniard has been named as a frontrunner for the position, which has been left vacant following the sacking of Roberto Di Matteo this morning.

"I have just found out [about Di Matteo]," Benitez told website Sport 360. "Obviously Chelsea is a top side and they can compete for trophies so it goes in this category.

"In football a lot of people are talking so we will see what happens in the next few days. I am looking for a club that can challenge for trophies and Chelsea is one of these clubs."

Benitez, who is currently in Abu Dhabi, has insisted that he has yet to be approached by the West London outfit.
