Chelsea fired the coach this morning just a day
after another loss in the Champions League. Read the full statement on Roberto
Di Matteo's parting.
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.
