Chelsea No2 Eddie Newton admits he and Roberto di Matteo have no idea of the club's management plans.

Reports have suggested Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich might be prepared to offer Di Matteo a one-year contract.

But Pep Guardiola's apparent U-turn over his plan to take a season-long sabbatical may have complicated matters, with the outgoing Barcelona boss said to be Abramovich's number one target.

Newton, who helped Di Matteo deliver the FA Cup as well this season, said in the Mail on Sunday: "Nothing has changed.

"The situation is that we're contracted to the end of the season, June 30.

"We're still digesting what we've done. But nobody at the club is telling us anything.

"We all want what's best for Chelsea but we have absolutely no idea what the club thinks that is."
