“Chelsea Football Club has parted company this morning with Manager Roberto Di Matteo” was the statement on the official website, this morning on the back of the 3-0 defeat in Turin yesterday.
The basis for his sacking apparently was the fact that “The team’s recent performances and results have not been good enough” and hence the owner and the Board had come to the decision that Di Matteo was to be handed the sack.
They also felt that a change was necessary to lead the club in new directions in an especially crucial part of the season.
Di Matteo is of course, a Chelsea legend – both as a player and a manager. The Italian won us our maiden Champions League title and our 7th FA Cup trophy, in quite admirable fashion. Roberto was in charge of the Blues for 262 days before being fired this morning.
He is perhaps the only manager in a series of many to have held a big place in the fans’ hearts – chants of ‘Only One Di Matteo’ could be heard resounding in every corner of the Bridge at every match this seeason.
Never have we had a manager so passionate about the club. Arrivederci, Roberto. Thank you for everything and we, at ChelseaFC360, wish you all the best for your future ventures.

I Loved RDM so much I will always

I knew it was coming especially with Pep lurking around. He should have at least tried to guarantee a knockout place in the CL but it is looking unlikely. He has won us 2 cups and lost 2 already. No pressure on the CL but getting out in the group stage is not good for heavy spenders like Chelsea. He couldn't even guarantee us the beautiful game. Wish him all the best and no thanks to Torres.

Respect to Roberto Di Matteo. He will always be remembered by us. I think Benitez will be a good interim coach though. Maybe he will unlock Torres' strengths.

Truely there's only one RDM and He'll forever remain fondly i̶̲̥̅̊n̶̲̥̅̊ my Heart, i don't know of other CFc fan. I love you RDM and I personally wish u well i̶̲̥̅̊n̶̲̥̅̊ your future endeavors!

We don't have much choice on Benitez now. If we go to the Europa league, Falcao would be cup tied and hence no point getting him for now. Besides it would be more expensive to get Falcao for Di matteo for just the EPL than to get Benitez to try pick up Torres for both the Europa league and EPL etc.

“Maybe he will unlock Torres' strengths”: are you kidding me! Torres, malouda are not anymore players for chelsea. How in world roman can ask to play with torres, his favorite player and the arrogance to sack robi?
We need a magician to unlock Torres' strengths, no coach can do that. never!

Oh! My favourites. RDM SACKED, THIS COACH WAS PRETTY COOL. One thing i will remember him was his composure at press conferances. Get Guardiola now, anyways.

Man you're just a hater. I've noticed your comments and you are anti-Torres and your views on Fellaini shows you know nothing about football Adamtai. I love RDM too as a legend of our beloved Chelsea but his tactics against Juve last night was the ultimate downfall of his reign. Anyone with a tactical sense saw the weakness in the team he fielded last night.

We will see if Bentez will win champions league and FA cup or any cup. it is shame and selfish

We are already out of the Champions League bro. There's no way Juventus will lose to Shakhtar. Juventus will either win or play out a draw because Shakhtar has nothing to lose,they already qualified. The positive thing is,Chelsea can now focus fully on the Premier League with City surely also out of the Champions League. With this,United might end up third.

RDM shouldn't have been hired in the first place. People said he wasn't the man to rebuild the squad and they have been proven right.
