Chelsea are offering Roberto di Matteo a 12-month rolling contract.

The Daily Express says Chelsea are poised to confirm Di Matteo as their manager in the next 48 hours on a 12-month rolling contract worth about £2million a year.

He had lengthy talks with Chelsea's Russian owner Roman Abramovich yesterday after returning from holiday.

Di Matteo, it is understood, has agreed a one-year contract with an option to renew next summer if things go well. He completed the double of FA Cup and Champions League in 12 remarkable weeks in charge.
