Roberto Di Matteo says it was his destiny to return to Chelsea.
The former West Bromwich Albion has joined Chelsea as manager Andre Villas-Boas' new No2.
"I feel very excited to be back at my home club, it's fantastic,' Di Matteo told the official Chelsea website. "I spent a large part of my professional career and many years of my life at Chelsea.
"I had a great time here and made many friends, so it feels to me like my second home, or my home.
"I always hoped that one day I'd be able to come back, but you never know, nobody knows what the future holds, but I always thought it was in my destiny to come back to the club one day."
