Chelsea sack RDM

STATEMENT ON ROBERTO DI MATTEO
Posted on: Wed 21 Nov 2012

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.

di Matteo's career at Chelsea only lasted 261 days

You gotta be kidding me.


Redknapp, Benitez and Avram() being linked with the job. Pep is who Roman ultimately wants though

What the hell is wrong with board!

Even Phil Scolari got longer

Lol wut???? Living up to our stereotype are we Roman?????

We never actually set out to win the BPL or anything and this was a rebuilding phase ffs

We still have a chance of qualifying for the CL knockouts, hell even win the league

Damn, does this mean Chelsea are gonna reach the Champions League Finals now?????

I heard AVB is having problems at Tottenham. MAybe chelsea could try him out

I can't sympathize with Roman to be honest.

Di Matteo is a club legend and to be treated this way after winning the first Champions League ever for the club is pretty disgraceful.

I feel sorry for the guy.

Also it looks like Roman has already picked someone for the job. Probably Benitez.

Go Home Mourinhio

3rd in EPL, still got a chance to get to last 16 for CL, sacks coach.................only at Chelsea

From hero to zero in matter of months, ffs it's not like Chelsea fighting for relegation or completely missed out CL, they still could go all the way. Wtf is wrong with Chelsea board & Roman?

I wish

I can see the club going for a permanent coach now though so the like of Mou, Hiddink etc who are in jobs atm are off the cards and the only ones out of a job atm are 'arry, Rafa, Pep and Rijikard

so..... who's next? Pep Guardiola?

According to Balague (I know ) Guardiola already refused Chelsea. "And Rafa Benítez, as we speak doing a talk in Abu Dhabi, has not got an offer from Chelsea or a call from them either."

p.s Fun fact: Final game of RDM: Torres benched. Final game of AVB: Torres benched. Torres power.

Oh dear.

WTF

He Sacks when He Wants
He Sacks when He Wants
Roman Abramovich
He Sacks when He Wants!!

Actually speechless, far worse than the AVB sacking which still put me off. Who is going to come in and do any better than RDM was doing? The past few seasons we've had a mid season slump and this season was no different apart from the fact that we've been playing against decent teams...

Chelsea have now spent £86m since 2004 in compensation for managers. More than Everton’s net transfer spend since the EPL began

No way
