Chelsea interim manager Roberto Di Matteo is under "serious consideration" to be appointed on a permanent basis following the Blues' Champions League triumph, senior club officials said Sunday.
As the dust began to settle on Chelsea's victory over Bayern Munich, attention turned to the issue of Di Matteo's long-term future at Stamford Bridge following three remarkable months in charge. The 41-year-old Italian took over after the dismissal of Andre Villas-Boas in March and has steered the London club to FA Cup and Champions League victories.
Chelsea officials have so far refused to elaborate on Di Matteo's long-term future amid mounting calls for him to be appointed permanently.
