Basically it was sheer dumb luck. The players and existing coaching staff did all the work, it’s well documented if you give it a google.
“Ahead of last Wednesday’s League Cup victory at Hull, Terry elected to hold a team meeting in which he called on team-mates to rally behind the new manager. Terry’s message was ill-received, however, with several players insisting Grant was not good enough to coach them. One respected international spoke with team-mates after Terry’s words, complaining: ‘Chelsea deserve a bigger coach than him. Grant does not have the quality to coach a team like this. When we play big opponents we will suffer because of him.’
There are many at the club who agree. Abramovich is understood to have received unfavourable reports on Grant’s coaching methods from club staff, one of whom describes them as ‘25 years behind the times’. The Israeli has not helped his cause by using training drills that many players believe to be outdated when compared to the cutting-edge methods they had become accustomed to under Mourinho. According to a source, at least one member of Grant’s coaching staff has told friends that he will consider leaving the club if there is no further change in management.”
