Chelsea will offer Roberto di Matteo a new one-year contract.

The Mirror says Di Matteo will be offered a one-year chance to prove himself as Chelsea manager.

Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich is ready to reward Di Matteo's Champions League success, after struggling to convince top target Pep Guardiola to take the job this summer.

But Abramovich, in the middle of a huge spending spree to rebuild Chelsea, is cautious about handing out a long-term deal for Di Matteo and may only give him 12 months.

Di Matteo's existing contract - signed when he became Andre Villas-Boas' assistant - still has two years to run and his representatives are keen for him to be given at least that long as manager.
