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.
