Ex-Chelsea boss Di Matteo to take over at Aston Villa

ASTON Villa has appointed former Chelsea boss Roberto Di Matteo as its new manager, the BBC said yesterday.

Di Matteo, 46, a former Italy midfielder who also managed West Bromwich Albion and Schalke in Germany, replaces Remi Garde, who was sacked by Villa in March before it was relegated from the English Premier League. His former Chelsea teammate, Steve Clarke, who was also an assistant manager at the London club, will be his new assistant, the BBC said. Di Matteo, who won the Champions League as Chelsea manager in 2012, is expected to have his appointment confirmed by the club when new owner Tony Xia formally takes charge following approval by the Premier League and Football League.
