Cech says under-fire boss Benitez must be given a chance
Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech urged Blues fans to give manager Rafael Benitez a chance following the draw against Manchester City.
Benitez, hugely unpopular among the Stamford Bridge faithful from his time at Liverpool, was barracked by supporters during his first game in charge.
Cech said: “Unfortunately you cannot change history, and while he was Liverpool coach we had a lot of rivalry and it comes from there.
“But he is here to change things and put us in winning mode and he needs to have a chance to do that.
“When your manager is sacked it is always bad news as a player because you are responsible for the situation as well. We have a new manager now and we are in the same boat.”
