Official - AVB confirmed as Chelsea boss

[Fulham Broadway 17,306]

Jesus, some Chelsea's fans are obsessed about Manchester.

Forget the devils and SAF. We are not supposed to copy their history, we are making our own.

I'm suitably chastised there Henrique. Just thought Sir Andy Boas had a nice ring to it.

*bet you're great fun in a stuck elevator *

I am so excited !!! can't wait to see him in action !

Wish him a very successful and long career at Chelsea Football Club !

[ruggedknot 105]

I like him. He's focusing on the mentality and motivation first! Something [no disrespect] Carlo could not do this, last, season.

" I've been an inividual that has that hunger for success ....and I want to keep it that way " - Villas Boas

There are no false illusions or mind-games going on about him - like Guardiola in a way , about as straight up as they come . That 15 minute video interview where he switches from Portugese to English to speak to the Telegraph reporter had me sold .

[Kojo 4,676]

So happy about this, i'm really happy our board just fighted for him.

[DavidEU 2,023]

That clip of the interview above is making me so excited for 7:15! Someone best post a stream.

[bababoom 4,478]

So happy we got him, hope now he can build a squad that he wants in the next couple of years and make us start playing good football. Cant wait for the interview later on today.

The fact that he almost apologised for the disappointing EL Final had me sold .

Offtopic but anyone here a True blue internationl member that knows how to get Chelsea tv online working, I dont want to miss the interview

[HRiver 1,512]

You just got to love Roman Abramovich. Most of the fans started losing the faith on him but the truth is that he never loses faith for this club. We were worried on who he was going to appoint and look who we got now, one of the best current coaches in Europe.

Great news.

Although the thought of Emenalo becoming assistant manager is giving me nightmares, I will ignore that for now.

Thats a point. What backroom staff is he gonna bring with him or will he have to work with what we already have??

Isn't Paul Clement higher up on the totem pole ? Comes off as the guy who liasons between the team and the manager, always had his notepad out during substitutions in games and such . Seemed like the Clarke to Mourinho with Carlo to me .
