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.

what a joke of a board and owner.

Dat Roman.

Manager Roberto Di Matteo has parted company with Chelsea, the club has announced.
Di Matteo won the Champions League and FA Cup as caretaker manager last season and was given a two-year deal in June.
But in the wake of the 3-0 defeat to Juventus, which has left the Blues on the brink of a Champions League exit, he has left Stamford Bridge.
"The club will be making an announcement shortly regarding a new first team manager," a statement said.

EDIT: Ninja Snrub.

what a joke

[Irish Jet]

Absolutely disgraceful decision to sack him. Joke of a club.

Not only did he win the CL, he won the FA Cup and has improved their league form significantly since inheriting an aging squad which had just torn apart AVB. He was doing a great job, his tactics were the main fucking reason they won the CL, even more so than Drogba. His main issue has been that absolute clown of a striker, who Abramovic hand-picked, a guy who is not a patch on what he was and never will be, one of the worst strikers in the league right now and certainly the most overpaid.

This all before they play City too, fucking hell. I’d literally split my sides laughing if they brought in Benitez though.

I don't believe this.

I understand that Pep is our wanted man. But he won't join now, so i don't see the point in this sacking unless Pep does change his mind.

Rumours going around that we want to bring in Benitez till end of the season when Pep is available. If thats the case, why not stick with RDM? It's not his fault that Torres is misfiring.

[Joel]

No surprise. I always said they'd get rid of him at the first chance. Look at how long they took to give him a contract after he won the CHAMPIONS LEAGUE.

I aint even sad, because this is the norm at the club now. Morals don't matter anymore.

[Kiz]

benitez hasn't been approached and pep's not cutting short his sabbatical. surely lunacy to take this seat with no real reward or purpose. 'arry or possibly even avram grant being thrown around.

[Joel]

We'll probably sort out the Pep stuff in January when he is ready to talk to clubs. Looks like it's Rafa to the end of the season, which sickens me.

You guys probably think by how I'm posting that I do not care about RDM. That's not the case. I think this decision stinks of shit. But I'm used to it now. This stuff happens at Chelsea Football Club now. Right or wrong, it happens.

this is what he gets for dropping torres

nah but seriously this is fucked up. however, the sheer absurdity of how often this happens has numbed me to the pain. out of every sacking, this one is probably the most unjustified and most fucked up. roman is a full blown psychopath

but i have good news though. i submitted my application for manager. including talents such as beating barcelona with aston villa at professional difficulty in fifa 13

your move roman

[Kiz]

seriously, why on earth would pep go there? absolutely no stability and confidence in the board to give you time. apparently avb was going to be given time. that worked well. rdm just won the biggest prize in club football 6 months ago. now he's dumped after a few bad results like yesterday's rubbish. roman is an absolute power hungry control freak maniac who has no clue on how to run a football club. for pep's sanity he should avoid at all costs.
