Do you think Di Matteo deserves the Chelsea job for the long run?

I think Di Matteo has been successful because he has passion for the club - that's the same reason why Morinho was so successful - and all the managers in between lacked that passion and just saw it as a job/ money which is why they failed. Trouble is I don't think Abramovitch is passionate about the club either - for him is bout financial investments. Now he has achieved the one thing that eluded him for so long I think he will quickly bore of Chelsea and take his money somewhere else. So yes, I think Di Matteo should get the job but no I don't think he will get it - but equally I think Abramovitch will not be there much longer (I hope!)

Winning two silverwares and one of them being the most covet among the European clubs, Di Matteo has got to nab that position on a permanent basis. However, the victory does not cover the weakness in the team. Both in the semi-finals and final, had the oppositions been more clinical, we could have witness rugby scorelines. I put in down as ineptness of the opposition. Regardless, whoever take over the rein, he will have a great deal of rebuilding to do. In the meanwhile, let them bask in the glory of being the Champion of Europe.

Let's put it this way , if the team is listening to him And they are winning the matches they Need to , then they Better keep him!

well I can't think that the coach that brought Abramovic the UCL title would be sacked, he should be given a chance and see how far the team can go next season.

i think he deserves for it.. he had proved he can give champions league trophy for roman.. so? i think chelsea now is complete team.. they had ever get epl trophy, carling cup, fa cup, community shield and now champions league..

I just don't know why Other manager is associated with chelsea often. This is very weird. Hope the job confirm for Di Matteo. The blues always best team. Di Matteo is awesome.

They only qualified for next years champions league by winning the cup and did not qualify by their league position. I think that he does deserve the job but somehow i do not think that he will get it. I may be wrong but it is just a gut feeling.

As much as I hope to see that Di Matteo gets it, I am rather pessimistic that it will be so. It is weird that the manager who delivered the greatest prize for the club but his service is not wanted by his club. Anyway, if he is not in Chelsea next season, I think we will still be seeing him in EPL next season. His CV is good enough for a lot of teams.

I think he deserved to get the job since he has won the FA Cup and the Champions League. Although he did not do well in the premier league, overall he did well. He has brought back the chemistry back into the Chelsea team. It is up the the owner and CEO of the club, but he has proved himself.

Under AVB the team seemed to fall to pieces anytime things went against them. There was no confidence in the side and they seemed to be resigned to losing whenever they went behind. Since Di Matteo took over the team has grown in confidence and has got harder an harder to beat. The team spirit and determination he has instilled was never more evident than in both the FA cup and Champions League Finals. If that isn't enough to give Di Matteo the job for at least next season then Abramovich needs to get out of Chelsea now.
