Ruud Gullit(May 1996 to February 1998)
The Dutchman was appointed player-manager of Chelsea in May 1996 when Glenn Hoddle left to manage England.
Gullit brought the FA Cup to Stamford Bridge in his first season courtesy of a 2-0 win over Middlesbrough, becoming the first non-British manager to win the famous trophy.
After guiding Chelsea to sixth in the Premier League in 1996-97, Gullit was sacked in February 1998. The Blues were second in the League and in the quarter-finals of two cup competitions.
