da bet esporte： Chelsea have confirmed that they have appointed Roberto Di Matteo as their new manager on a two-year contract.
The Italian coach took over at the west London club on an interim basis after the dismissal of Andre Villas Boas last term, and helped the Blues to an FA Cup and Champions League double.
Despite the former midfielder’s heroics, other names such as Pep Guardiola have been linked to the vacant Stamford Bridge role, however Di Matteo has now been confirmed as the club’s full-time boss.
“Roberto’s quality was clear for all to see when he galvanised the squad last season and helped the club make history, and the owner and board are very pleased he will be continuing his good work,” chief executive Ron Gourlay admitted to Sky Sports.
We all believed he was a young coach with much to offer when we first asked him to take charge of team affairs in March and the manner in which he worked with us, the players and all the staff, and the success that followed, made him the clear choice when it came to selecting the person to take us forward in the seasons to come.
“We will be working closely with Roberto in the weeks ahead, some exciting signings have already been made and Roberto has had input into those.
“Although he has set the bar very high in the short time he has been in charge, we know that Roberto is the right man to lead Chelsea onto further success,” he revealed.
Meanwhile, Di Matteo has confessed his delight at being appointed in the position on a full-time basis.
“I’m obviously delighted to have been appointed as manager and first-team coach. We all achieved incredible success last season that made history for this great club,” he told the side’s official website.
“Our aim is to continue building on that and I’m already planning and looking forward to the squad’s return for pre-season.”
