Chelsea lose a manager... again!

CHELSEA AND VILLAS-BOAS PART COMPANY


Andre Villa-Boas has parted company with Chelsea Football Club today.

The board would like to record our gratitude for his work and express our disappointment that the relationship has ended so early.

Unfortunately the results and performances of the team have not been good enough and were showing no signs of improving at a key time in the season.

The club is still competing in the latter stages of the Uefa Champions League and the FA Cup, as well as challenging for a top-four spot in the Premier League, and we aim to remain as competitive as possible on all fronts.

With that in mind we felt our only option was to make a change at this time.

With immediate effect Roberto Di Matteo has been appointed first team coach on an interim basis until the end of the season.

Poor guy. Some of the players should of rather gotten the sack, not him.

Whats that now, 4 managers in 5 seasons? (Someone correct me here, I know I am probably wrong). But dam, if you don't let the guys bed down they ain't ever gonna succeed.

+1

But that's what happens when someone's got more money than sense, I guess. If I'm so sick and tired of constant changes, I wonder how the players feel.

It worked quite well in the beginning for Chelsea.

The beginning being when exactly? If you're referring to the post-Ranieri era, well, Abramovich afforded Mourinho time to build a squad, and that's what worked.

Interesting stat on Skysports.

Since 2000, Chelsea had 7 managers under Roman.

Mourihnio onwards. If he can give Mourihnio time to build a squad how can keep firing his managers left right and center without giving them a chance. Geesh, even when the one manager won the double (Ancelotti i think) that still wasn't good enough he got sacked as well.

Abramovich has become Chelsea's own worst enemy.

Mourinho won the League in his first season. And his second. So it wasn't that time was afforded to him, it was that he started with success.

Its obvious that he wants that same quick success and wont stop until he finds it...if he finds it

 

[zippy]

Manchester United should send Abromovitch(sp?) a thank you for continuing to screw up Chelsea FC

 

[zippy]

Someone at the office said Jose has bought property in London. It's either the Chelsea or Spurs job. Not sure how true it is. Rumour, but then in football fact is fiction and rumour becomes fact

 

[I.am.Sam]

chelsea need to buy a new midfield and new strikers ....thats the only way they will compete

and roman needs to get someone who can work with them for atleast 2 years ....

Congratulations Chelsea. You have managed to employ almost all the available managers and yet you still have no Champions League trophy, and are in fifth place in the Premier League. Is it possible there is another way to achieve success, another way that doesn't require you to sack managers yearly? Could it be the players, possibly even the owner is to blame? No, that's impossible; it's always the manager’s fault.

CFC will not win the Champions' League, never! Chopping and changing coaches
