Last May, Roberto Di Matteo won the most prestigious club competition in the world. It was the first time in Chelsea’s history and the same year Chelsea won the Cup. Roberto Di Matteo who was first enthroned as the interim coach replacing Villa-Boas, soon became the panacea for a club who ended up not finishing in top 4 last year but won the big trophy that only one other English club has won over the last decade, Manchester United. But in football, things change quickly… Good luck to you Roberto!
This morning we could read in England:
Chelsea Football Club has parted company this morning with Manager Roberto Di Matteo.
The team’s recent performances and results have not been good enough and the owner and the Board felt that a change was necessary now to keep the club moving in the right direction as we head into a vitally important part of the season.
The club faces a difficult task ahead in qualifying for the knockout stages of the UEFA Champions League as well as maintaining a strong challenge for the top of the Premier League while competing in three other cup competitions. Our aim is to remain as competitive as possible and challenge strongly on all fronts.
The owner and the Board would like to thank Roberto for all he has done for the club since taking over in March. Roberto helped guide us to an historic Champions League victory and a seventh FA Cup. We will never forget the huge contribution he has made to this club’s history and he will always be welcome at Stamford Bridge.
The club will be making an announcement shortly regarding a new first team manager.
