Roberto Di matteo Sacked after Juventus Outclassed Champions in Turin
Chelsea Football Club have sacked Roberto Di Matteo following their 3 - 0 thrashing by Juventus on Tuesday evening which has put the club's prospects of qualifying for the Champions League knockout stage in serious jeopardy.
The Blues needed a positive result in Turin to maintain strong hopes of defending their European crown, but Antonio Conte's side destroyed the Premier League club to leave their chances in ruins.
Signs of thier deep in form first appeared when Manchester United put a stop to their unbeaten run in the premier League some weeks ago and defeat to West Brom last week end did not help the young Italians course. A statement on Chelsea's official website read: "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 statement continued: "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."
After winning seven of his eight opening Premier League games this season, two points from the last four league matches and seven points from a possible 15 in the Champions League have sealed the Italian's fate.
"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." the statemnet concluded.
