Roberto Di Matteo sacked by Chelsea after Champions League defeat against Juventus

zenmoster · Nov 21, 2012

The dismissal of Di Matteo follows the only real blip in results since he succeeded Andre Villas-Boas in February, with the club having won just two of their past eight matches.

Chelsea say that they will be making an announcement "shortly" regarding a new first-team manager, with Rafael Benitez and Avram Grant among the options to succeed Di Matteo on an interim basis.

Ideally, Abramovich would like to appoint Pep Guardiola, the former Barcelona manager, but it is unclear whether he would be available before the end of the season.

The sacking of Di Matteo means that Chelsea are searching for their ninth manager since Abramovich purchased the club nine years ago, in 2003. To date, only Jose Mourinho and Carlo Ancelotti have survived more than one season.

Chelseas statement this morning pointed to "recent performances and results" but, even by Abramovichs standards, Di Matteo has been judged over a remarkably short timescale.

STATEMENT ON ROBERTO DI MATTEO

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.

Dah hapa naombea miujiza as mi mwenyewe mshabiki wa chelsea but najua kabisa juventus anatisha,

Hiyo mechi yenyewe ya juventus vs shaktar ya turin shaktar walipumulia mashine na kipa wao ndo aliwaokoa. Juventus wanashambulia kama nyuki tena kwa fujo bila mpangilio na najua kabisa huyo shaktar akipona marudiano ni draw..

But mpira unadunda kama chelsea alimtoa barcelona last season na kubeba ubingwa basi hata shaktar atamzuia juventus na kumfanya chelsea apite although navyomjua pirlo anavyopenda sifa kwenye match hizo naona kabisa juventus anamtia shakter 3 kwa bila kama alivyotufanya jana

piper · Nov 21, 2012

Mtanisamehe wakuu upande wa michezo haukubali post, habari toka kwenye mtandao wa teamtalk ni kuwa Chelsea baada ya kufungwa na Juventus hatimaye wameamua kumtupia virago kocha wao, ila kwa spidi hii huyu mmiliki ni balaa ina maana hataki kufungwa? karibu tujadili.

mechi inayofuata wanatakiwa kushinda na juve wafungwe kitu ambacho ni kigumu

Jamani kwani ilichukua muda gani hadi akapewa contract baada ya kuchukua kombe?
Roman alisita sana kumpa mkataba ndio maana akampa wa miaka 2

Hapana

Chelsea wakisinda wanafikisha pointi 10 (inabidi wapige bao 4)
Juventus wakishinda wanafikisha pointi 12( na Shaktar wanabaki na 10)
Shaktar wakishinda wanafikisha point 13 ( Juve wanabaki na 9)
