#9 Claudio Ranieri (2000-04)
Claudio Ranieri was in-charge when Roman Abramovich bought the club, but only lasted one year and failed to win a single trophy during his four years as boss.
His greatest achievement as a manager is now seen as his incredible Premier League victory as Leicester City manager, but Ranieri also did a great job in building the platform that Chelsea sprung off in later seasons.
Ranieri had done well in the years leading to the club’s sale, overseeing the development of Chelsea legends John Terry and Frank Lampard.
Even though he won nothing, Ranieri took Chelsea to second place in the league, only falling short behind Arsenal’s impressive Invincibles, as well as guiding the club to the Champions League semi-finals, losing out to Monaco.
Had he been given a long spell in charge, then Ranieri would certainly have taken Chelsea to the next level, but unfortunately, his time was cut short. However, with a win percentage of just 53.8%, there is certainly a case that he wasn't quite ready to take Chelsea to the elite level.
