Benitez ready to challenge for honours

Rafael Benitez believes he will be able to help Chelsea, who are 5/1 to win the Premier League with bet365, challenge for honours after being named the club's new manager.

The Blues have moved quickly to replace Roberto Di Matteo after sacking him on Wednesday, appointing the Spaniard on a deal until the end of the season. Some Chelsea fans are unhappy with Di Matteo's sacking and Benitez's appointment due to his previous comments about the European champions. The former Liverpool boss has tried to calm the furore surrounding his arrival at Stamford Bridge by claiming he will help the club win more silverware this year. Benitez told Sky Sports News: "You know, the fans they always want the same as the manager, to win games and to win titles." "I think it is a top side. You can challenge for trophies when you are in a top side." Benitez met the players on Tuesday and his first game in charge will be against champions Manchester City on Sunday.
