EX-CHELSEA manager Avram Grant celebrated the Coronation with a hilarious and brutal troll of Blues owner Todd Boehly.
And fans could not get enough of his “naughty” comment.
Grant, 68, took to Instagram on the day of King Charles III was crowned at Westminster Abbey.
He posted a wonderful photo of him meeting the monarch at a black-tie event, with the pair laughing together.
And the Israeli captioned it brilliantly.
Grant wrote: “Congratulations to the new King.

“In this picture, I’d just told him that someone would buy Chelsea and make himself director of football…”
The cheeky message was seemingly in reference to new Blues owner Boehly – although he is technically chairman but not director of football, with that role shared by Laurence Stewart and Paul Winstanley.
The American billionaire bought the Stamford Bridge club for £4.25billion last May and pumped in another £600million on transfers this season.
But it has not worked out as planned – with Chelsea going through three managers and still slumped in 11th in the Premier League while being dumped out of all cup competitions.

And fans flooded the comments of Grant’s post in hysterics.
One said: “Naughty that, Avram!”
Another wrote: “That caption.”
And a third added: “Tell ’em, Avram.”
Grant, a friend of Roman Abramovich and director of Chelsea, managed the club from 2007 to 2008, taking them to the Champions League final in Moscow.
He was sacked within days of the heartbreak against Manchester United – before going on to coach Portsmouth, West Ham and Ghana.
Now he is the Zambia national team boss, having taken on the job in December 2022.
