The Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich must have said something to impress Pep Guardiola. The 41-year old announced that he was stepping down after four years managing FC Barcelona. He was exhausted, he said, and was planning a year out of football to recharge his batteries.
Jose Mourinho reacted with scorn, saying that he was older, had managed for longer and was not tired, but he was not a footballer for long and never played at a decent level. Whatever, Guardiola’s mind was made up and Barcelona appointed his assistant as the new manager.
Abramovich thought that he might as well talk to Guardiola before he made his decision about who would be managing Chelsea next season. Maybe he would be able to persuade him to commit to Chelsea after his lay-off and so whoever was offered the job, it would only be for a year. Pep then said that he might cut short his break if a club was to tempt him.
Roman is planning to tempt him alright, £11 million a year and renewed vigour in the transfer market. Eden Hazard is already on his way to Stamford Bridge and Chelsea are planning to fight Manchester City all the way. Winning the Champion’s league seems to have given Abramovich a new lease of life. You do have to feel a little sorry for Roberto Di Matteo, but he has now got a great CV.
Come on you Blues
Get a grip pep fuk off we want Di Matteo
Employing Pep is a very big step to achievin great tins. But y are buying superstars to achieve our success wen we can make our own Stars yet still achieve same success even more?
Chelsea owner wil bcom a coach. Useless owner!
I love pep. Cos he’s a gr8t coach.. But Roberto is de man, dat as chelsea blood and chelsea success is in his hand. Roberto has the Luck to take chelsea to de highest level.. So for the fact that he has won the almighty champions league for us,, the shud giv him dat respect and sign new 3 to 4yrs deal wit him…. Pep may come and fail in chelsea. But Roberto hav prove him self, so dey shud giv him a chance
Abramovic sld be wise and give a solid contract to matteo who truly loves the club.guardiola sld fuck off!!! He’s not that good a coach and all his glory sld go 90% to the players.
i agree with u Andy Hogan,pep is a great man but he stil hasnt proved himself fit for chelsea,as we all know chelsea play different football from barcelona,and still again Robbie deserves what he worked hard for,what if pep comes and fail like villas boas did..please pay that into account Abramovich.
Roberto Di Matteo has proved somthing
He and no doubt all CFC won the UEFA Champions League
