Roberto Di Matteo is a Swiss
-born Italian former professional footballer and the current assistant manager of Chelsea
. As a midfielder
, he enjoyed spells at Schaffhausen
, Zürich Aarau
, Lazio
, and Chelsea
. He was capped
by Italy 34 times, scoring two goals for the Italian national team
, and played for them in the Euro 1996 and 1998 World Cup
. He retired as a player in February 2002 at the age of 31 through injury problems.
to Italian parents, Di Matteo began his career with Swiss club Schaffhausen, before joining Zürich in 1991 and Aarau a year later. He won the Swiss Nationalliga A
with Aarau in 1993 and in the same season was awarded Switzerland's Player of the Year award. He signed for Lazio in the summer of 1993 on a free transfer. Di Matteo became a regular in the Lazio side and made his debut for Italy during his time with the Rome giants for three seasons. However, a falling out with coach Zdeněk Zeman
over a defensive error which resulted in a loss to Internazionale
, ended his career with the club. As a result he was signed by Ruud Gullit
for English side Chelsea for a then club record fee of £
4.9 million.
on his home debut. His passing ability and accurate long-distance shooting saw him become one of the driving forces of Chelsea's resurgence in the late 1990s. He contributed nine goals in his first season, including long-range efforts against both Tottenham Hotspur
and Wimbledon
. He helped the club finish 6th in the league, their highest placing since 1989–90, and reach the 1997 FA Cup Final at Wembley. Within 42 seconds of the kick-off, Di Matteo scored from 30 yards, to set Chelsea on their way to a 2–0 win. This was the quickest goal scored in a cup final at the old Wembley, although Louis Saha
has since broken the record for the fastest goal scored in an FA Cup final - ironically, scored against Chelsea in the 2009 renewal.
The following season he again proved his worth to the team, chipping in with ten goals and numerous assists, as Chelsea went on to claim the Football League Cup
and the Cup Winners' Cup
, their first European honour since 1971. In the League Cup final, again against Middlesbrough, Di Matteo scored the second goal in a 2–0 win. Season 1998–99 turned out to be a special season for Chelsea as they went on an unbeaten run of over 20 games to finish third in the Premier League and qualify for the Champions League
. Di Matteo played a pivotal role in midfield next to Gustavo Poyet
, Dennis Wise
and Dan Petrescu
and scored some memorable goals, among them a strike against Coventry City
in the dying seconds of the game.
During the 1999–00 season he was hampered by injury but returned late in the season to score a handful of crucial goals, including his third Cup-winning goal at Wembley, once again in the FA Cup. In a dour match, Di Matteo capitalised on an error by Aston Villa
goalkeeper David James
to score the winner in the 71st minute, handing Chelsea their fourth major trophy in three years. This lead Di Matteo to comment on the old Wembley Stadium saying "It's a shame they're tearing the old place down – it has been a very lucky ground for me".
Early into the 2000–01 season, Di Matteo sustained a triple leg fracture in a UEFA Cup tie against Swiss
side St. Gallen
and spent the next eighteen months on the sidelines. He eventually gave up on his comeback and retired in February 2002 at the age of 31. In his six years at Chelsea, he made 175 appearances and scored 26 goals. He never lost at Old Trafford
. He was selected in the squad of Chelsea's greatest ever XI, and former manager Claudio Ranieri
handed him the honour of leading the Chelsea team out in the 2002 FA Cup Final
, which Chelsea went on to lose 2–0 to rivals Arsenal
. Di Matteo returned to Chelsea the 29 June 2011, being appointed as André Villas-Boas new assistant Manager.

, behind favourites Newcastle United, winning automatic promotion to the Premier League.
On 14 August 2010, Roberto Di Matteo returned to Stamford Bridge
as Head Coach of West Brom but saw his side thrashed 6–0 on the opening day of the 2010–11 Premier League
season. However, Albion bounced back in the very next week, beating Sunderland 1–0 at The Hawthorns. After five games they had accumulated seven points, their best start to a Premier League Season. In the sixth game Di Matteo lead his team to a 3–2 victory against Arsenal
at the Emirates stadium
. Di Matteo was named Premier League Manager of the Month for September 2010. He also praised the spirit of his players after West Brom's 2–2 draw at Manchester United on 16 October 2010. However, during December 2010 and January 2011, the club had a period of poor form, winning only one of ten matches. Whilst it was evident that the majority of fans were still loyal to Di Matteo, the 3-0 defeat to Manchester City on 5 February 2011 proved the final straw for the board and Di Matteo was relieved of his duties with immediate effect.
