Ballack: Grant should stay

German midfielder Michael Ballack has declared that he believes Avram Grant should definitely stay at the club despite rumours that the Israeli is heading out of the Stamford Bridge exit door.

The German midfielder said: "As far as I'm concerned it all indicates Avram Grant has done everything that was asked of him - and he will actually beat what anyone expected if we bring the European Cup back to Stamford Bridge this week.

"I'm not the guy who decides but it seems to me he deserves the chance to do it all again next season."
