magic weeds 446 Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 I think someone had posted it already in the AVB thread, the original story from Italy. I did also post the DAILY MAIL and GUARDIAN reports.Hope its true anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruggedknot 105 Posted June 29, 2011 Author Share Posted June 29, 2011 Let's hope its' true, cause I would welcome this appointment.Indeed . Would be fantastic if Villas-Boas himself announced it in about 7 hours time I think someone had posted it already in the AVB thread, the original story from Italy. I did also post the DAILY MAIL and GUARDIAN reports.Hope its true anyway.Posted the original message a while ago on the twitter rumours thread , a while before it was being discussed in the AVB tactics thread .Sky Correspondent Bailey : http://twitter.com/SkyGraemeBaileyRoberto Di Matteo is being linked with return to Chelsea as Andre Villas Boas's assistant .Early stages of even a rumour as it stands right now but would be delighted if it were true . One synonymous with the faithful and its interesting that AVB is doing what Mourinho did at every club he went to - get an ex pro into the backroom who has an endearing history with the club.Its deserving of its own thread either-way , we'll just rename it if and when Di-Matteo is confirmed as the assistant to the manager Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kostas 1,468 Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 Would it be too wild to presume DiMatteo was chosen/recommended by the Board given previous stories about us looking for an ex-player to be an assistant manager under Hiddink?Would welcome such an appointment but can't help thinking it's PR-related like Zola would have been.

EskWeston 696 Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 What a brilliant appointment this would be, things really moving in a new and exciting direction at Chelsea this summer. Hope the player appointments are just as exciting. Minor roumers of Zola also joining the coaching staff....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clevemayer 764 Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 Following the success of last season's reserve side, who became national champions, reserve coach Steve Holland will also step up to work with the senior squad, becoming an assistant first team coach, while Christophe Lollichon continues as goalkeeping coach. so lollichon stays with us, very good news, because cech loves to work with him...

Ollie 4,400 Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 So happy to see Robbie back, it's gonna be brilliant seeing him with the Chelsea badge on his chest again. Some heart, soul and blue blood back in chelsea, an absolutely perfect move. AVB knows exactly what he's doing and he knows exactly what the fans want and what Chelsea need. This is probably the most excited i've ever been before a pre season, seriously. Can't wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magic weeds 446 Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 I think this is a perfect appointement. Welcome back RDM.I also think Steve Holland has really done a good job since joining us from Stoke City. I wonder who will be the new reserve team coach.

Duppy Conqueror 1,557 Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 nice to see Robbie back..if i recall correctly he was part of the coaching staff under Claudio..can`t remember exactly what his position was but i think it was in some role with the youth team.
