Di Matteo proud to win FA Cup as Chelsea player and manager

Chelsea boss Roberto di Matteo is proud to have led the club to more FA Cup glory.

Di Matteo now becomes the 16th man to win the competition as a player and a manager, and the scenes which greeted the victory were, in part, a tribute to the Italian who has steadied what appeared to be a sinking ship when he took control two months ago.

"Not many people have had the opportunity, I was fortunate enough to play for the club and win the trophy," he said. "Now I've done it as a coach as well. It's special because it doesn't happen very often, but the players did very well today and I'm happy."
