Former West Bromwich Albion boss Roberto di Matteo is confident he can cope with becoming No2 to Andre Villas-Boas at Chelsea.
Di Matteo is happy with his move to Stamford Bridge.
"It's obviously a challenge for me, but I don't anticipate any problems," Di Matteo explained to chelseafc.com. "I've got experience of being a manager, I know what it is like, and I know what it is to be a coach, so I have a bit of both and I am there to support Andre and any of the staff, to give what it takes for us to be successful. That's the ultimate challenge.
"I followed Porto last season and the amazing success he had there. But his call came a bit out of the blue to be honest, so it's mostly based on the fact that he likes my football philosophy and that's why he wants me to be part of his team.
"I think he likes to play football and be positive and attacking, and over the years if you've seen a game or two of the teams I coached I think we played the same way, I liked my teams to try and win games rather than not lose, to build, to pass. He's going to be in charge of it and we're going to be working the way he thinks is the right way to be successful."
