Former boss Glenn Hoddle believes the next Chelsea manager will be on a "sticky wicket" due to owner Roman Abramovich's influence.
Avram Grant was sacked on Saturday just eight months after taking over from Jose Mourinho as the Blues failed to win a trophy this season.
Abramovich has often been accused of interfering in team affairs since buying the club and Hoddle, Chelsea manager from 1993-96, admitted: "It's different than managing any other club.
"You can understand if someone is putting that amount of finances into a club he wants a say. I think this is where football and business really are different. You have to let the football man run the club."

Asked about Grant's successor, Hoddle added on BBC Radio Five Live's Sportsweek programme: "I think they will go foreign.
"Whoever they go for will be high profile and for me, whoever comes in, you know the wicket is going to be a sticky wicket if you want every single decision.
"If that's the way Chelsea run the club, that's fine. At least everybody knows what the situation is as you go into a job.
"If there's any grey areas that's when it tends to go a little bit pear-shaped."
League Managers' Association chief executive Richard Bevan insisted clubs must learn from the likes of Manchester United, Arsenal and Everton in keeping faith with their managers.
"I was told at a dinner in Russia that Roman Abramovich said he had contributed 30% towards the club regarding on the pitch activity," Bevan said.
"Not so much interfering but having communication. If you're one of the richest men in the world then you want to speak to the manager on a regular basis and I'm sure that's what he did with Avram.
"It's not a normal world at Chelsea, Abramovich is one of the wealthiest men in the world, and he wants to win trophies. He wants to win tomorrow.
"All clubs must recognise, Man Utd have 22 seasons with Sir Alex, (Arsenal) 12 seasons with Arsene Wenger, (Everton) six seasons with David Moyes.
"You need to give your managers time to build relationships with players, build a backroom staff, and if you do that you will get success."
