Roberto Di Matteo happy with Chelsea

Roberto Di Matteo has insisted he is happy playing second fiddle to Andre Villas-Boas at Chelsea but will discuss his Stamford Bridge future at the end of the season.


The former West Brom manager took a step down after his sacking from the Hawthorns by becoming Villas-Boas's assistant manager in the summer.

Di Matteo's contract with the club expires this summer and recent reports have linked him with a return to management.

"I'm very happy to be here. It's my club," said the former Blues midfielder.

"I feel at home and Andre and I have developed a very good working relationship, so it's something we'll discuss maybe at the end of the season."

The Italian enjoyed six seasons at Chelsea as a player between 1996 and 2002, making 119 appearances and scoring 15 times.
