AVB sacking will be good for Chelsea's Lukaku says agent

The agent of Chelsea youngster Romelu Lukaku believes the sacking of manager Andre Villas-Boas can only be good for his client.

The Blues terminated the contract of Villas-Boas yesterday and now Lukaku's representative, Christophe Henrotay, feels it will be good for the 18-year old to play under Roberto Di Matteo who has worked one-on-one with the Belgian talent.

"It cannot be any worse than under Villas-Boas," Henrotay told Sportwereld. "So it will only get better. But I do not know the plans of the new coach.

"Di Matteo was the man who gave Romelu individual training," Henrotay explained. "He knows him better than any of the coaching staff of Chelsea.

"Additionally, you can assume that a new coach will try other things in order to get his team winning. Then Romelu could be an alternative solution."
