Chelsea players detest interim manager Di Matteo even more than Villas-Boas

London, Mar 5(ANI): A Chelsea source has claimed that players at the club aren't too excited about the appointment of Roberto Di Matteo as team's interim manager.

"The players could not stand AVB because of his arrogance. But, if anything, they like Roberto even less. He's just too cock sure. They might unite behind him to start with, but after a couple of bad results, it will be just as bad, if not worse," The Sun quoted a source, as saying.

The source claimed that the club is in a complete mess since there is no one to take full control of training for the players.

"It's a shambles from top to bottom. They just don't have a coach. There's no one to take control of training, no one for the players to look to," the source added.

Chelsea fans still like Di Matteo from his playing days, which were cut short by injury. But after early success at MK Dons and winning promotion with West Bromwich Albion, Baggies sacked him in 2011 after winning just 10 of 30 Premier League games.

He was still out of work last summer when Villas-Boas drafted him in as his assistant. (ANI)
