Football: Di Matteo all set for toughest test
As he attempts to lead an injury and suspension-hit Chelsea to Champions League glory over Bayern Munich.
LONDON:
Roberto Di Matteo is bracing for the toughest managerial challenge of his career as he attempts to lead an injury and suspension-hit Chelsea to Champions League glory over Bayern Munich. Just 10 weeks after taking over at Stamford Bridge following the sacking of Andre Villas-Boas, Di Matteo has already overseen a string of notable performances including an unforgettable semi-final win over Barcelona. But the Italian believes that orchestrating a win over Bayern on their home ground on Saturday would represent his greatest triumph as he attempts to pull together a Chelsea side decimated by injuries and suspensions. Given the circumstances, Di Matteo agreed he faced the most challenging tactical assignment of his career.”With all the problems that we have it’s certainly causing me a headache,” said the 41-year-old.
