Chelsea have sacked manager Roberto di Matteo today ( November 21, 2012), barely six months after the latter guided them to their 2011/12 Champions League trophy in Munich after beating FC Bayern on penalties. The decision came after successive losses to West Bromwich Albion in the league and Juventus in Europe , with the Blues announcing that he had parted company with the club on their official website. The loss to Juve left Chelsea on the brink of elimination in the Champions League, which would make them the first defending champions in the era of the modern UCL not to make it to the knockout stages of the tournament
