Official - AVB confirmed as Chelsea boss

[ruggedknot 105]

We're gonna end up loving this guy. I already like him and i barely know him yet.

I'd be surprised if this hasn't been posted in here already but its been a long day in filling these pages up and some might've missed it . He speaks fluent English , is warm and friendly , readily likeable , doesn't shrug away from a question and you can tell he's not ducking behind a wall as a personality . Starts speaking English at 15 : 00 and goes on for another 15 minutes , speaking about his time at Chelsea and the fact that he still talks to staff and players and likes life in London , as his family does as well .

One notable difference between Villas-Boas & Mourinho will probably be his interviews and conferences.. I bet Justin will be happy about that

I doubt they were lump sums though.

Don't see why the fees for Football Directors (Frank Arnesen, Guus Hiddink) are accounted, might as well include all the board members and the backroom staff.

Thyce Slegger a Dutch correspondent was on Talksport earlier saying Hiddink isnt joining Chelsea as DoF, he will stick to advising Roman. Apparently has not been contacted by chelsea in over a month or so

Yeah but last week another or the same (not sure) Dutch correspondent said Hiddink was a done deal. So i wouldn't trust anyone.

Just saw his interview and he is well spoken. He comes across very level headed and mentioned he is still intouch with players and staff at chelsea and praised Chelsea. He also mentioned that obviously Chelsea has obsession with Champions League, which means he knows what he is getting into.

What a coup this would be if he wins us the Champions League.

Someone probably has already posted this, but here's a bit more information about him. Also i gotta warn you, it's a long read.

Looks like my prayers were answered. I took this picture the day before the news broke.
