Souness: Di Matteo deserves chance to take fulltime Chelsea job

Former Liverpool and Rangers boss Graeme Souness says Roberto di Matteo deserves consideration for the fulltime Chelsea job.

Souness wrote in the Daily Star Sunday: "He's the interim boss, stepping up from being assistant to the sacked Andre Villas-Boas. And he's doing the job better than AVB was.

"Di Matteo is handling the ­experienced players, ­whereas ­Villas-Boas alienated them.

"And he is getting his tactics right - as we saw in Lisbon last Tuesday night, when Chelsea gained a vital 1-0 win against ­Benfica in the first leg of their ­Champions League ­quarter-final."
