ten Cate The Volcano

Chelsea has employed the service of ten Cate, better known as the Volcano for his ferocious temper and abrasive manner.

The coach's service at eight different clubs over the last twenty years has been marked by controversy. Vitesse Arnhem President informed the press in 1998 that "I had to sack ten Cate in 1998 because there was a bad relationship between him and my players."

"Every day, ten Cate had an emotional argument with someone. With him, you have a top coach at your club but also a volcano."

Ironically, Chelsea supposedly sacked Mourinho over these reasons.

ten Cate left Ajax to join Chelsea as assistant coach and report to Avram Grant. He spent the weekend acquainting himself at Stamford Bridge. With Chelsea's prima-donnas set to return for training after international duty, many fear that conflict is about to start.

The Dutchman has already warned the players he will be in command. He said: "When I am the coach, I take it to the limits. Be sure, I will be the boss."

Cate is respected as a coach but his reputation is tainted by the number of public rows in his career. If Abramovich wants a better player-management relationship, he better think again.
Dutch legend Ronald Koeman believes Chelsea have blundered by appointing him.

Koeman questioned his credentials: "I can't understand how ten Cate can suddenly become coach of Chelsea when at Ajax, they have failed to qualify for the Champions League in the last two years and are not in the Uefa Cup."
