The 2007-08 season is Chelsea Football Club's 16th consecutive season in the Premier League. Manager Jose Mourinho left the club by mutual consent on September 20, 2007[1] following a disappointing 1-1 draw with Rosenborg and was replaced by Israeli Avram Grant.[2]
The 2007-08 Premier League season was decided on the last matchday (38) where Chelsea need to win against Bolton and Manchester United to either draw or lose against Wigan, but the results were, Chelsea 1 - 1 Bolton, and Wigan 0 - 2 Manchester United, thus making Chelsea runners-up for the second consecutive season.
Chelsea played in their first UEFA Champions League final against fellow Premier League rivals Manchester United, making it the first all-English final in the competition as well. After 120 minutes both sides were level with a goal each, Manchester United then won the penalty shootout 6-5 after Van Der Sar saved Anelka's penalty. Having finished the season trophy less for the first time in three years was the impetus that led to Avram Grant being sacked, three days after the Champions League final, on May 24th. [3] Five days later, Chelsea's assistant first-team coach, Henk ten Cate had his contract terminated also, on the 29th May. [4]
Team kit
The team kit for the season was produced by Adidas and the shirt sponsor is Samsung Mobile. The home kit was retained from previous seasons. A new yellow away kit with black stripes was introduced replacing the black away kit from the previous season.[5] A new white 3rd kit with blue highlights was also introduced.[6]
