Sky Sports News understands Henk Ten Cate has been sacked as an assistant manager by Chelsea.

The Dutchman arrived at Stamford Bridge in October to join Avram Grant's backroom staff following the departure of Jose Mourinho.

However, after Grant was sacked by Chelsea last Saturday, there were suggestions that Ten Cate would also be on his way out of the club.

Ten Cate, though, revealed at the start of the week that he had been assured that he still had a role in West London, where he was under contract until 2010.

He told Voetbal International: "Half an hour before Chelsea made the message about Grant officially known, I was called by the chief executive Peter Kenyon.

"He informed me that the departure of Grant will not affect me. I'd rather go on that than all those newspaper reports.

"That appointment was long planned and therefore separate from recent developments.

"In January I had one such evaluation and then we said we would do again after the season. I have a contract until 2010."

But it would now appear that Ten Cate's time at Chelsea has run its course as the club look for Grant's replacement.

Luiz Felipe Scolari, Mark Hughes, Roberto Mancini and Sven Goran Eriksson are among the candidates to take over from Grant.

Its not that ridiculous, he was the assistant.A new manager will more than likely want to bring his own assistant.

It probably ends the Frank Rijkaard speculation if he is gone.

Yeah that is a joke alright. I bet Ten Cate wishes he'd never gone there now. Wasn't he involved in confrontations with some of the big players as well, such as Terry? Wouldn't be surprised if that's partly why he's going.

If anything it will only strengthen the rumours. Rijkaard and Ten Cate had a big falling out at Barcelona.
