Chelsea FC, one of the top clubs in Europe and the Barclays Premier League (BPL), has sacked manager Roberto Di Matteo after last night’s make-or-break Champions League group game with Juventus. The 3-0 defeat in Italy proved to be the last straw for ruthless owner Roman Abramovich, who has axed Di Matteo despite the Italian guiding the club to glory in the FA Cup and Europe last season.
The Blues have also failed to win any of their last four Premier League games, a run which has seen them slip from top to four points behind leaders Manchester City.
Di Matteo took charge of Chelsea in March after the club had sacked Andre Villas-Boas, initially on a temporary basis.
Chelsea is now looking for a ninth manager ever since Abramovich took control of club in 2003.
According to foreign media sources, the Blues have already approached former Liverpool chief Rafa Benitez as a possible temporary replacement.
