Chelsea are expected to appoint Ajax head coach Henk ten Cate who has left the Dutch club. He is to join as assistant to Herman Monster look-a-like Avram Grant, but the Independent reveals that there is already a dispute as to who will do what.

'Ajax announced yesterday that they have reached agreement with Chelsea on the compensation package for the 52-year-old, however the key issues have not yet been resolved with Ten Cate himself. He had originally expected to be in charge of training sessions and tactics but it is Chelsea's intention that Grant dictate the tactics - as well as his own ideas and philosophy - to his new assistant to implement at the training ground.'


Meanwhile the Guardian speculates that Martin Jol could be appointed new Ajax boss.
